Allard P1

The Allard P1 brought the company's advanced chassis engineering to a practical four-door format. Its split front axle independent suspension provided superior ride quality and handling compared to conventional saloons. Ford V8 power offered strong performance despite the additional weight and seating capacity. The P1 proved that sporting character need not sacrifice family utility.
