1953 ALLARD PALM BEACH MkI
RESTORATION PROJECT
REGISTRATION NUMBER: JFY 600

A 1953 Allard Palm Beach Mk I restoration project, registration number JFY 600, chassis number 21C/5140, engine number BOTTA-RY-387368, green. The alloy bodied Palm Beach had a production run between 1952 and 1958 in both Mk I and II configurations. The Mk I production lasted until 1954 with approximately 74 examples finding new homes. They were all powered by Ford, with the first few examples having pre cross flow 1500 Consul engines (which was found to be underpowered) and the remainder of Mk I production was subsequently fitted with the more powerful 2.3 litre Zephyr 6 engine. 21C/5140 was originally supplied by John Peak & Co Ltd, Wigan with the underpowered Consul engine. The Allard would subsequently be returned to the factory to be up-graded to the Zephyr 6 engine in 1956 (CRF60). In the current ownership (deceased) for over 25 years the Allard has been partially restored and has had another change of engine. This time to a Capri 3 litre V6. During the stalled restoration process the aluminium body has been restored, the front section from the A pillar forward is now finished in primer, the doors are new (original doors supplied) but require final adjustment and the rear section in raw aluminium has been repaired and shaped but requires final fettling and attaching to the restored chassis. The chassis has been re-built and modified to except the Capri V6 engine, gearbox and axle (the Zephyr 6 engine and ancillaries are still available and offered with the car), the majority of the other components including the trim, dashboard, gages, running gear and weather gear still require restoration with the exception of the bumpers, windscreen and windscreen surround which have been restored. This rare and exciting project will be offered for auction with a history file containing photographs, receipts, technical data and some fascinating correspondence between fellow Allard enthusiasts. Once completed this rare Allard will be eligible for some of the most prestigious motoring events and is an opportunity not to be missed.
