This numbers matching, aluminum alloy body has the original rarer Lincoln engine. The original owner's son had started a restoration process a few years ago, and it appears that all the parts are present. These rare cars have really started to skyrocket in price at recent auctions and in price guides. I have too many other ongoing restoration projects so it is being listed for sale. Sydney Allard spent the years preceding World War II, and those that immediately followed, focusing on building an Anglo-American road racer that was serious competition on the track. The apex of his development efforts was the Le Mans-placing J-series cars, which were potent and brutish, sticking with his visionary formula of American V8 power paired to small British chassis. Having proven his cars’ abilities on the circuit, Allard turned his attention to more mainstream, roadgoing offerings like his K1 and K2. The K3 was the next evolution of the K-series cars, but it was wholly new upon its 1952 introduction. Built on a 100-inch chassis and wearing a more modern alloy envelope body, the cars were elegant in appearance.Front coil springs and a De Dion rear axle continued from the earlier cars, and made handling assured. The vehicle has a clear title. There is a deposit of $1000 required within 48hrs after buying. Buyer is responsible for arrangement & payment of shipping the vehicle. The car is for sale locally, so the auction may end at any time. The video is not of this actual car, but what a restored K3 may look like. Seller's Location About Seller
