Seller's comments about 1949' Allard M Type
This car was being renovated by an Allard Owners Club member who unfortunately passed away. Members of the AOC have purchased his collection and are pulling together project 'kits' to aid getting more Allards back on the road. This M Type is the first to be offered for sale and it is hoped someone will be suitably inspired and challenged to bring it back to life. V5 and body plate are present.
The challenge with Allards and many other cars of this construction type, is repairing the body once the woodworm has struck. WIth this M type there is a complete rebuilt ash frame for the whole body as well as remade door and boot frames. The aluminium body, door and boot skins are all present but not yet attached to the new woodwork.
A new Autosparks wiring loom and replacement front glass are present. Front seat frames, hood hoops, bright ware and most other parts to complete the car, as far as we can ascertain are sorted in to boxes and stored above and in the car.
There is no hood and the old one is not present to copy, however other AOC members have had new hoods made, so there is experience available to assist.
The Ford 21 stud flat head V8 engine has been inspected and looks to be in good usable condition, albeit a full rebuild may be preferable. The side change gearbox is attached to the engine, the column change mechanism is present as is the torque tube. All brake components are present. Front and rear wings, nose cone, bonnet and a reasonable Allard waterfall grill are present. The latter would benefit from having its chrome redone.
We also have a large box pallet filled with much of the wood taken from the old body and this is available to be taken with the car to aid the next steps in completing the body.
Any one interested can view near Bath. Price includes the dolly and all boxes. Delivery on a trailer can be arranged subject to discussion.
