Agreed.
Looks like something Morecambe & Wise might have created; all the right pieces, not necessarily in the right order

Must have been nearly 15 years ago I had chance to buy this one - Sydney Allards own car. Unfortunately the circumstances didn't align and I missed out. A year or two later and the prices had shot through the roof.... the same car was re-advertised at 3 times what I could have bought it for ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-Wmzqy81fwI've always liked Allards but the only affordable ones these days are the P1 saloons. The looks of the P1 are somewhat "challenging" which is the only reason I can imagine that they're so undervalued - IMHO.

Not for me, it looks like some blinged up American garage creation  That's why I need some spare cash and a garage - de-bling it and paint it a "proper" colour, its advertised as British Racing Green - I'd call that puke green

Serendipity - A genuine Allard J2X has just appeared for sale on Car&Classic. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1378149When the cars were built new Allard weren't allowed to import American engines, due to post-war restrictions, so all UK cars had the side valve Ford (or Mercury) V8 fitted. Cars exported to the USA usually went engineless and were fitted with a big V8 on arrival. Cadillac being the preferred choice. Naturally many UK cars have since been upgraded as has this Singapore export model.

The £10k service is a little off putting, otherwise a total bargain .. Knowing how much some of these 'classic' car places charge, probably no more than an oil change and a set of plugs.  A fool and his cash.......
