Allards
were crude British beasts with huge (for their era) American V8 engines.
They dominated sports car racing main events in the USA in the early 1950s.
(3-2-10) From Stephen Brazell:
"The Allard behind #891 belongs to James
Degnan who races it every year at Laguna Seca in the Monterey Historics.
(Photo below.) Lots of fun to see and hear it running at speed."
