Liege (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

Liege Cars was a British specialist manufacturer founded by Peter Leigh-Davis in 1995 to produce lightweight, retro-styled sports cars inspired by 1950s designs. The company’s sole model, the Liege, was offered mainly in kit form between the late 1990s and the 2000s, with around 80 examples completed.

The car featured a glass-fibre body bonded to an integral floorpan, mounted on a simple chassis with independent front suspension and a live rear axle taken from the Suzuki Carry. Power came from an 850 cc Reliant Robin four-cylinder engine, driving through a 5.1:1 final drive. With a weight of around 400 kg, the Liege was not focused on outright speed but excelled in agility and durability, particularly in classic trials competition where its light weight and simple mechanics were an advantage.

Initially built in Bidford-on-Avon before moving to Fladbury, the Liege combined period looks with minimalist engineering. Although never produced in large numbers, it attracted a small following among enthusiasts who valued its blend of vintage charm and motorsport suitability.
