silver pigeon 3 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) This is a link to our latest restoration http://www.dep-o.co.uk/events/2013-nec-classic-motor-show-report/ its the 2nd row of thumbnails far left, if you click on it it opens up the picture nice and big. Another link but poor photo http://classics.honestjohn.co.uk/news/event-news/classic-motor-show-2013/nec-classic-allard-family-unveils-palm-beach-restoration/ and one last one, its the 6th image down http://www.allardregister.org/home/2013/11/28/allards-at-the-2013-classic-motor-show.html The car is a 1956 Allard palm beach MK2, it is in fact the prototype car from the 56 motor show at Earls court and one of only 7 built and 5 known remaining. We were approached to restore it by the Grandson of the original Allard motor company, his long term plan is to produce a limited run of these. The restoration took over 250 hours and the vehicle took centre stage at the recent classic motor show at NEC on the Allard owners club stand. It was received very well and from it we have had orders for 2 more restorations. Edited December 12, 2013 by silver pigeon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Very impressed. I have only ever built kit cars - and not to that standard. I appreciate true craftsmanship when I see it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate true craftsmanship when I see it though. Thanks, we carried out all the exterior bodywork and paint. In total there were over 1500 hours from start to finish.

Just finished building a Toniq kit car a few months ago Nothing like the amount of skill and effort that has gone onto this but gives me some appreciation of your work. Well done!
