The remarkable story of everything Sydney Herbert Allard achieved
in motor sport and motor car manufacture is framed in an up-to-date
commentary co-authored by his own son. This is a tribute unswayed
by legend, but based on the facts and achievements of his eponymous
company. With contributions from the Allard Owners' Club and Allard
Register, this book contains painstaking research of Allard history
from 1929 to the present day, including previously unpublished
material. Just under 2,000 Allards were built, and approximately
510 are believed to remain on the road or known to be under
-restoration. More await discovery - even as this book was being
written, one of Sydney's long-lost 1930s 'Allard Specials' has been
found after years being forgotten. Other topics covered in this
remarkable book include: car-by-car engineering and design details;
unseen ideas and projects; the history of the Allard marque in
motor sport and the Allard story in the USA. Finally, it features
the Allard Owner's Club, Allard Register, members and their cars.
