*Allard K2 Tourer Roadster (1951) – The British Rebel with an American Heart
*
The Allard K2 is a true underdog in the automotive world. A British roadster with a powerful American V8 under the hood. An idea that was revolutionary at the time. Sound familiar? Yes, we think so. Carroll Shelby did something similar with the Cobra, but Sydney Allard was a decade ahead of him! This Allard is an authentic vintage racer with a touch of luxury, making it truly special.


*This Allard K2 at a Glance
*

- Rare! – Only 119 examples were built between 1949 and 1952.
- Originally equipped with a Ford flathead V8. A powerhouse with an unmistakable deep rumble.
- Fully restored, and it shows: the "Blue Le Mans" paint gleams, the chrome is neat, and the interior is beautifully finished with leather upholstery and blue accents. Featuring correct details and in very neat condition, this Allard is ready for any adventure.
- The perfect driver’s car – Ideal for historic races, rallies, or simply an unforgettable road trip.

This is a car that does it all: cruise effortlessly down the boulevard and soak in that classic V8 soundtrack, or take on winding roads and experience the raw power of the V8 and chassis working in perfect harmony.


*Sydney Allard: The Man Ahead of His Time
*
Sydney Allard saw the potential before anyone else: lightweight British sports cars powered by American V8 engines were the future. He built his cars using the chassis of the Ford Pilot, fitting them with handcrafted aluminum bodies.
And it worked.

His cars dominated the racing scene, with his crowning achievement being a third-place overall finish at the 1950 24 Hours of Le Mans—driving a car he built himself!
The Allard K2 was his vision of a sporty roadster that offered just a bit more refinement than the hardcore J-series racing models. But make no mistake, this was still a beast of a machine.


*Driving an Allard K2: An Unforgettable Experience
*
Step in, turn the key, and the Ford flathead V8 roars to life. It growls and rumbles in that unmistakable way that makes American engines so iconic.

On the road?
- The low seating position and long hood deliver that classic sports car feel.
- The steering is precise and direct, exactly how a vintage racer should be.
- This is a car you have to drive, feel, and experience.

And that makes it perfect for historic events. Fully restored and ready for rallies, concours d’élégance, or scenic drives, this Allard K2 is an absolute joy to drive. You can tell it has always been cherished by true enthusiasts.


*Why This Allard K2 Stands Out
*

- A rare and legendary British sports car
- Fully restored and ready for action
- A perfect blend of racing pedigree and luxury
- A thrilling, responsive Ford V8 soundtrack

This isn’t a museum piece. This is a car that just wants to be driven. A pure, mechanical driving experience that’s increasingly rare to find today.
