LEON LAISNE / FRANCE

 LÉON LAISNE / NANTES / FRANCE ( 1913 - 1937 )

The LÉON LAISNE was in the automobile business from 1913  to 1937. The company was only successful locally. They were well known for their design but there was no commercial succes. In  1926 the Englishman Murray Harris  entered the company now called Harris Léon Laisne. In 1931 he left the company and for a few years there still vehicles under the old name Léon Laisne.

The rectangulaire emblem which you see on the next photo is still missing in my collection. It was the last emblem before Murray Harris left again the company.
