Monoposto Chassis Num: Steyr   This 1947 Steyr-Allard is Sydney Allard's personal British Hill Climb Championship-winning special. It was Allard's personal, unique and famous one-off special, the most well-known of all the different Allard vehicles. Built in six weeks in 1947, Sydney Allard competed in the British Hill Climb Championship with the car for five years, finishing 3rd in 1947, 3rd in 1948, 1st in 1949, 2nd in 1950 and 3rd in 1951. The car held class and outright records at all of the various hill climb courses and sprint events that it competed in at different times over this period. After being sold in 1952, the car continued to successfully compete in numerous events until the early 1960s with a succession of owners before being reacquired by the Allard family. It was sold again and placed in a museum for a number of years. It was acquired by the current owner in 1994. It was fully restored to active competitive levels in 2001.
