Three-quarter front view of a Blue, 1949, Allard L-Type, on display in the Allard Owners Club Zone, of the 2019 Silverstone Classic
Built from 1946-1948, the K1 used a 106 in (2,700 mm) wheelbase and was powered by a tuned version of the 221 cu in (3,622 cc) V8, with 7:1 compression, producing 95 hp (71 kW; 96 PS).[4] The frame was made up from stamped steel channel sections by Thomsons of Wolverton specially for Allard. Side rails and cross members were designed to fit the Allard trailing link, transverse leaf independent front suspension and live rear axle. Production totaled 151 and fitted with the same engine options as the J1 the K1 could reach 86–90 mph (140–145 km/h). The L is a 4-seat roadster, produced from 1946 to 1950.[13] It was on a 112-inch ( m) wheelbase and available with a choice of 3622 cc ( cu in) Ford V8 or 4375 cc ( cu in) Mercury engines.[16] The top speed is estimated to be 85 mph (137 km/h). Priced at a little more than £1000, 191 were produced
