1948 Allard L-Type Four-Seater

In 1946 Sidney Allard launched his K1 roadster, using a stockpile of engines and parts not needed following the war effort. Between 1946 and 1949 he eventually also built the J1, L, and M series.

A total of 191 L Types were manufactured from 1946-48. Only 19 remain worldwide. This example is of only seven that remain in the United States.

For many years, this car was owned by U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Frank Savage, a World War Two hero who was popularized in the film 'Twelve O'clock High.'

Most of these cars were equipped with a Ford flathead V-8, which is the case here. Minimal restoration has been done - a repaint and new leather in 1999.
