1953 Allard Palm Beach Navigation
The shop of Sydney Allard, at 24/28 Chapman High Street in London, produced this Allard 21C Palm Beach Roadster. The Palm Beach models employ a 12-volt Lucas electrical system, 13 x 6.4 wheels, Allard's traditional swing axle front suspension, and Girling hydraulic brakes. They can reach 100 mph and were originally sold for 800 British Pounds.
This Palm Beach roadster contains an engine modified by Aquaplane in the 1950s - done to prep the car for racing. It is one of eight Palm Beach cars built with the 21C engine and possibly the only one with the Aquaplane racing modifications - all period correct. The engine is a four-cylinder, displacing 1.5 liters, and produces 47 horsepower at 4400 RPM.
This car participated in and finished fourth in the 1954 Nassau races, the 1953 Watkins Glen Grand Prix Concours d'Elegance and Great American Mountain Rallye, the 1961 Scuderia Veloce Bazaar, International Winter Gymkhana, and 1966 Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Endurance Race.
The car was completely restored approximately 15 years ago (as of 2012).
