Oakleigh were motorcycles produced from 1910 to 1914.

See Lewis Arthur Durant

1910 The first machines had a 3.75hp single or 5hp V-twin Peugeot engine, direct-belt drive and a spring frame with sprung forks.

1911 The specification changed, to use a 4.5hp JAP engine in a rigid frame, or V-twins of the same make of 6hp, 7hp or 8hp.

1913-14 LAD were cycle cars produced

1914 Only a 3.5hp JAP single was available. The make then became one of the many casualties of World War I.

1923-26 The LAD was revived by L. A. D. Manufacturing Co
