This 1949 Allard M1 Drophead Coupe was initially registered in the UK as one of 500 examples produced between 1947 and 1950.
Chassis 872 is noted to have received mechanical recommissioning work in the 2000s prior to being sold as a project in 2009.
The car was exported to the US in the early 2010s, and a subsequent body-off refurbishment involved performing rust repairs, a repaint in red, and a refresh of the interior in tan leather.
Power is supplied by a replacement 239ci Ford flathead V8 that breathes through a single carburetor and is mated to a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission.
It rides on 16″ steel wheels and is further equipped with rear-hinged doors, trafficators, Smiths instrumentation, and a Bluemels Brooklands steering wheel.
