In 1946, Sir Sydney Allard launched his K1 Roadster using a stock-pile of engines and parts not needed for the war effort. He produced just 151 of these cars during the next three years at the Chapham Works in London. Only 21 still exist worldwide with 11 residing in the United States. The K1 was never intended for export and was offered only in England and Scotland. These right-hand drive cars were equipped with a 1937-1938 Ford flat-head V8, producing 85 horsepower and capable of pushing the 2,460-pound car to 86 mph. List price for the car was 850 English Pounds. Around 1980, this roadster was disassembled and shipped to the United States as 'car parts.' Around 15 years later, the 17 boxes were rescued from a warehouse and a three-year restoration occurred.Also photographed at :     | Site Map | Contact | About Us | Terms Of Use / Privacy Policy | Links | carAuctionValues |
