1951 Allard P1
Comments
Largely forgotten these days but the Allard marque was a force to be reckoned with in motor racing in the early post-War years. The combination of American V8 power and an English chassis proved very effective and was a major influence on Carroll Shelby, who used the same formula to great effect with his AC Cobra. Jensen, Bristol and Sunbeam, amongst others, subsequently built road cars using the same idea. Allard themselves built road cars in small numbers and these also found themselves in competition. In fact, Sydney Allard drove a P1 saloon similar to our car to victory in the 1952 Monte Carlo Rally.
Our car was delivered new to New Zealand, where it lived happily before being imported to Australia in 2011. Shortly before it left it received a full engine rebuild and considerable other work, detailed in a magazine article that comes with the car, together with an interesting history file.
Today, the car is in above-average condition but there is still scope to improve it. Still, where are you going to find another one? It is guaranteed to draw a crowd at any car event with its rather bizarre styling and V8 rumble.
Note that the odometer reads in miles.
