1946 Allard K1

The antique auto at hand is a revered treasure from the post-WWII era, specifically a 1946 Allard K1. Manufactured in its entirety by Sydney Allard's company, this timeless British craftsmanship showcases distinctive dual SU carburetors, breathing life into its Ford flathead V8 engine, a powerhouse that once thundered on American racetracks, now quieter but still formidable at 3600cc. Its bodywork is an exquisite blend of aluminum and steel, draped over a tubular chassis, giving it a curb weight of only around 1900 lbs - quite featherlight for its era. The seating arrangement hints towards its sporty nature, with just two bucket seats up front, and the steering wheel is a classic three-spoke design, further highlighting the unparalleled style that defines this iconic Allard model.
