Description: Allard Motor Company by Gavin Allard A rich resource for investigating the history of a short-lived but influential British carmaker. The Allard Motor Company archives are a particularly rich resource for those investigating the history and influence on the British motor industry of this short-lived but significant carmaker. The production records included in this comprehensive book cover the years of operation 1946-1958 and sit alongside many previously unseen official photographs, documents, and correspondence. Supported by an easy-to-use reference spreadsheet, Allard owners are invited to open to the pages where their car is featured, and casual observers can also learn about the indelible impact this small British car manufacturer made on motoring history. Author Gavin Allard—the grandson of Sydney Allard, who led the company into post-war Britain and beyond—details the people that built the cars, the dealerships that sold them, and the drivers who took them to the roads.

Gold stars all around."-- "SpeedReaders""Incredible."-- "Classic Cars""A valuable marque repository."-- "Motor Sport""Curiosities abound in the records--for example, the chassis which was sent to Facel in Paris for Daninoss first attempt at a sports car, using a Hotchkiss engine and predating the Facel Vega by a year. . . . Snippets such as this make the records a valuable and genuinely interesting resource, and the excellent photographs elevate this book far above the dry data dump it so easily could have been."-- "Automobile""From the pre-war Specials to the dragsters and various spectacular one-offs, Gavin Allard has uncovered some wonderful photographs. As well as the vehicles, the beautifully printed imagery vividly brings to life the factory, dealerships, and loyal employees."-- "Classic & Sports Car""Truly innovative. . . The volumes contain beautifully presented scans of ALL the existing Allard factory records, along with never before seen photos & literature of the cars (both production and specials), the dealerships that sold Allards, the parts suppliers, and many other interesting bits. . . . the incomparable visual history of Allard from Sydneys grandson."-- "The Allard Register" Details ISBN1956309063 Author Gavin Allard Publisher Dalton Watson Fine Books Language English Year 2023 ISBN-10 1956309063 ISBN-13 9781956309065 Format Hardcover Short Title Allard Motor Company Pages 820 Subtitle Beyond the Records Imprint Dalton Watson Fine Books Place of Publication Loughborough Country of Publication United Kingdom NZ Release Date 2023-02-19 Publication Date 2023-02-19 UK Release Date 2023-02-19 DEWEY 338.47629222 Audience General AU Release Date 2023-08-03 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
