Models A and B
From 1960 to 1962, LMB manufactured a roadster model with different Ford or BMC engines.
The LMB A had in each case a side-controlled four - cylinder engine with 1.2 l displacement, which made 30 bhp (22 kW) at 4000 min −1 . The chassis had a 2286 mm wheelbase and was fitted with a GRP body.
The LMB B was basically the same model, but in addition to the Ford Anglia engine described above, there was also the 1.0 L engine from Ford or four-cylinder engines from BMC with 0.95 L (from the Austin A35 ) or 1 .5 l displacement (from the MGA ) to choose from. The latter was a particularly powerful sports car.
Debonair model
From 1959, LMB also marketed the Debonair , a two-door hatchback coupé that was manufactured by EB as a kit vehicle . LMB offered the Debonair as a fully assembled car.
