1951 Allard Model K2 Roadster

This K2 Roadster is believed to be the prototype for the ill-fated 1951 New York Auto Show, which was held that year. Several engines were available, including a Ford 239 cubic inch V8, a Chrysler 331 cubic inch V8 and a Cadillac 331 cubic inch V8, which is installed in the car.

This car has raced in Vintage Sports Car Club of America (VSCCA) events, competed and completed the 2011 Colorado Grand. The car was restored by the third owner, the current owner is the 4th.

This photograph was taken at the 2015 Free Cars & Coffee at the Concours presented by Heacock Classic Car Insurance as a part of the Amelia Island Concours program. After being accepted to shoot the event each year for the past 5 years, they denied my application and appeal to attend this years Concours on Sunday, evidently they raised the standard and my work is just not quite good enough anymore, I will continue to try and improve it however!
