Leyland Eight
The Leyland Eight was a luxury car produced by Leyland Motors from 1920 to 1923.
The car was designed by the chief engineer of Leyland Motors, J.G. Parry-Thomas and his assistant Reid Railton, and was intended to be the finest car available.〔 It was the first British car with a straight-eight engine.〔 The Eight was introduced to the public at the 1920 International Motor Exhibition at Olympia, London, where it was referred to as the "Lion of Olympia".〔〔
==Engine and transmission==
The engine, with cylinder block and upper crankcase cast in one piece, had a single centrally mounted overhead camshaft,〔〔 hemispherical combustion chambers,〔 and an bore.〔〔 The engine was offered in one of two capacities: 〔 with a stroke, producing 〔〔 at 2,500 rpm or with a stroke and twin carburettors, producing at 3,500 rpm.〔 The crankshaft ran in five bearings. Ignition was by coil and distributor rather than magneto which was the more usual British practice at the time.
Transmission was through a single plate clutch to a separately mounted four speed gearbox. The rear axle was unconventional with the differential mounted ahead of the axle. The spiral bevel crown wheel and pinion arrangement had two crown wheels each attached to a half shaft allowing them to be arranged at an angle to each other to give the rear wheels a positive camber.
