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.[3] It was the first British car with a straight-eight engine.[4] 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".[4][5]
