Chassis no. 91K1703. Silver with black cloth top over blue/gray leather. LHD. 295-cid Mercury flathead with triple Stromberg carbs on an Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock heads, Isky cam, Bluemel's Brooklands steering wheel, folding windshield, hubcaps, blackwall tires, enclosed rear spare, electric windshield wiper, full weather equipment, trafficators.

Evaluation: K2 chassis with K1 body, one of one. Good paint, chrome and interior. Clean, orderly engine. Oily, greasy chassis, but not old or neglected, just used.

Bottom Line: This Allard was sold by Gooding at Amelia in 2011 showing 420 miles for $165,000. RM sold it at Amelia six years later in 2017 for $110,000. Today the odometer shows only 599 miles and the Allard hasn’t deteriorated, just fallen from favor.
