'''LDS''' is the name given to various single seater [[motorsport|racing]] specials built for the [[South African Formula One Championship]]. The "specials" were built by [[Doug Serrurier|Louis Douglas Serrurier]], hence the name. The Mark 1 and Mark 2 models were based on [[Cooper Car Company|Cooper]] designs, whilst the Mark 3 was based on the [[Brabham]] BT11. Mark 1 and Mark 2 models (1962–1965) used Alfa Romeo 1.5-litre [[straight-4]] engines.

A total of eight LDS cars participated in five World Championship Grands Prix. They did not score any World Championship points.
