Thanks Z5 - I have been told that a Rory Kilalea had a blue convertible Allard in the 1970s, just trying to confirm it was an M1.

Thought I would add a few photos of cars etc that have meant something to me though life so far.
This 1934 Austin Seven was the first car I drove at the age of about 8/9 yrs could only go about 4ft but it was fun going backwards and forward, remember it so well.
The miles I travelled as pillion in the early 50's on this 1932 Brough Superior SS100 I hate to think, if my mum know she would have put a stop to it. Spent many hours watching the engine being rebuilt on the kitchen floor, heads being lapped in, there was a sight glass on the delivery side of the oil pump, one of my jobs was to make sure the oil was pumping through as my step dad kicked it over, good job there was a decompression lever on the handle bars.
Rebuilt this Honda Pan-European from a Japanese right-off, came with next to no plastic panels, had to gather 40 panels to complete the bodywork.
More to follow as they crop up. _________________ Tom~~~~~~~~~ Follow the Dream |

Sorry I don't know, the reg was TV7123 was last known to be in Tiverton Devon, or should I say the engine and the frame. The owner had loaned the tank to a Norwegian to copy, but I was a little disappointed when I saw it, to think mum sold the Brough and the Austin for £20, there was an Indian Chief that a family friend kindly took away for her _________________ Tom~~~~~~~~~ Follow the Dream |
