This Allard was delivered new to Allard Dealers Bristol Street Motors, in the U.K. on October 10th of 1947. When new it wore blue paintwork with matched blue interior and was powered by a Ford V8 engine with number 7180297. In the late 1980s, the car was acquired by David North from a member of the duPont family, who had found the car in the U.K. in the 1970s and imported it to this country. At the time it was a particularly original example wearing its original paint, trim, and brightwork. North rebuilt the front end of the car and did other work but other projects took priority and the car was passed on to new (and long-term) ownership in 1993. The new owner progressively improved the vehicle over the years, including sourcing a Ford Model 59A block that was built up with performance in mind. With 200 horsepower on tap, Lincoln Zephyr brakes were added to keep the car under the driver's control.
The car competed in VSSCA events for the next dozen years and was a regular sight at Lime Rock, Mount Equinox Hill Climb, and Pocono. In 2005 it was acquired by its next owner in Colorado. Around 2010, it was purchased by its current owners.By Daniel Vaughan | Jul 2021
