Seller states:
Up for auction is an original 1952 Allard K2. I doubt there is a more authentic K2 anywhere. This car has been my small town for the past 50+ years with just two owners. The 40,000 miles are original. It’s MATCHING NUMBERS Cadillac V-8 is faster than hell when paired with this all aluminum British hand rolled body. VIN number of 91K-3022 matches the number stamped in the block: 3022. Again, this is unusual for an Allard in that these cars were raced, and often had their engines replaced somewhere along the way.
There were only 119 of these cars made. Unlike most of the Allards I’ve seen, this one still sports its original hub caps and bumpers. The undercarriage has never been touched, still exhibiting the original factory leather straps on the suspension, and the wooden rocker boards and floors. I installed a new exhaust system and starter motor this past Summer. That’s all this car needed. Mechanically it is as solid as a rock. Even the factory leather door panels with those enormous zippers are still there.
Up until last year, the original carburetor, manifold and hood were on the car. They accompany the sale, as well as the original seats. Current seats are out of an AC. They are all in great order and can be switched back if you desire. There is no top. Despite the photos you see, all taken last month, this car was painted over 30 years ago. However, I can tell you that the front fenders, hood and deck lid have all been repainted within the last year. The front bumpers and headlight rings were replated this month. Oil pressure is 60 lbs. Gauges all work expect the gas gauge. Carpet is new. All glass is original and from the factory.
1932 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 replica
I have a few of these kinda of replicas and they can be a ton of fun for under $20,000 sure they are not the real thing but if ya don’t have an extra million or more to spare this is a fun way to live the dream.
Seller Writes: Originally hired in the 1920′s to design a race winning machine for Alfa Romeo, engineer Vittorio Jano was reassigned to road car development after the company retired from racing at the end of two very successful seasons. The first road car he produced was the 6C 1500 launched early in 1927. While the six cylinder engined Alfa was designed specifically for road use, the higher performance versions proved to be very competitive on the track. In fact the 6C won the Mille Miglia for three years running. Encouraged by the success of the 6C, Alfa Romeo brought out Jano’s old P2 Grand Prix car for 1930 and commissioned him to design a brand new sports racer and GP car for 1931. The new 8C 2300 sports racer has gone into history as one of the finest and most successful racing cars ever constructed. One of the reasons the 8C was so successful was the nimble and lightweight chassis. Between 1931 and 1934 a total of 188 chassis were produced in three series, many of which were raced in period.
This particular car is a fine replica of this VERY RARE $3,000,000 automotive legend. The details and patina make this car a true one of a kind.the right and rare dual fold down windshield adds to the original look of the Alfa.
