Just wondering if Leston Motors has any connection with Les Leston driving gloves which my dad used to like getting as Xmas presents; he also did wood rim steering wheels and gearknobs etc and was a 50s racer in F3 Coopers and similar. Edit - Les that is, not my dad who was too busy helping Rootes create even better Imps, Hunters, Avengers etc. -- Last edit: 2012-01-25 21:45:47

After Chrysler began to absorb Rootes activities, Dodge name was used for commercial ranges vans/lorries from early 70s, but these were Commer/Simca products not US imports. -- Last edit: 2012-01-26 04:09:04
