rit Sydney Allard, b. 1910, started his automotive career as a driver, winning a novices’ three-lap race at Brooklands in a three-wheeled Morgan, and later gaining some notoriety at hillclimbs in an ex-Tourist Trophy-prepped Ford V-8. His first car, built from a Ford sedan chassis and bits of a Bugatti body, was a success, which only grew when the solid front axle was cut in half and the pieces re-mounted swing-axle-style.
