Sydney Allard was a larger than life character - he competed in virtually every kind of racing from Hill climbs to Le Mans. Won the Monte Carlo rally in a Allard saloon, only time anyone has won driving their own car. Introduced drag racing to the UK and more .....
The racing Allards were the forerunner of the Cobra - big American V8's in a British chassis.
Unfortunately the car for sale is a pastiche - Rover V8 engine and the proportions are all wrong. The real thing would be £200k plus.
