like we see traveling the highways and byways of Delhi with the whole family, of at least 5 or 6, aboard 😃 Now this Allard . wot's the next step ? Malc -
I just had a simple Carlton 1.8 saloon as my bank manager's car back in the '80s . brilliant family saloon, travelled over some of Europe in her with the kids and she finally died, after i gave her away to another car mechanic guy when I'd covered just over 200k miles in her . brilliant car for sure Bank Managers in those days just had simple cars . doubt they have cars anymore as a perk, indeed, are there any bank managers left anywhere ........... ??? btw I did some 60 miles on bank business in that car in the 60,000 miles i did in those first 3 years before I was made redundant and kept the car as part pay-off She was a joy to drive for sure ✌️ Malc sorry i digress from the Allard issue . value maybe £2k as a " fun " car . the bottom end value for a cheapy Ls400 of that age still on the road with lots of upcoming probably expensive issues to sort for MOTs etc Malc

Japanese equivalent maybe 😉 Was very very interesting to read all the Allard stuff that's referenced in the 2012 posts for sure ...... but in limp mode it's really quite valueless and/or priceless whatever 😁 well apart from it's weigh in value I guess Malc

Hi Gary and welcome to the LOC. Blimey I’ve seen this car appear and disappear many times over the years, apparently only 2 or 3 were built with one being totalled. I assume having gone into limp mode the Engine Management Light is illuminated? Paperclip diagnostics on this one. Price wise no idea, pretty sure I’ve seen it sold for £2-3k in the past, if you search the forum you should find previous related posts. Here you go, happy reading https://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/search/?&q=Allard&quick=1&item=143381&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy -
Hello there, I have a 1993 ls400 allard edition. I am wondering how much it is worth it only has 83,000 miles, had a lot of work done in recent years but has gone into limp mode -
Hi, Hope you people can help. Do any of you guys know about the Lexus/Allard concept? I know that only 3 were made, and that one of them was destroyed in a accident. I own one of them and was just wondering if anyone knows where her sister car is. Many thanks

Anyone seen this before, I never knew it existed? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-Allard-P4-Prototype/292564345977?hash=item441e31a479:g:RBIAAOSwcB5ZD-CM -

Hi Rustix, does your mate's car still exist? It looks to be one of 2 surviving examples, if it's still around. Would be cool to keep and restore https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-1st-and-2nd-gen-1990-2000/909846-allard-p4-ls400-2.html#post11173198

If the Allard treatment had actually enhanced the LS400 styling, then perhaps. But that's uglier-looking than those JDM R32/R33/R34 Skyline saloons that occasionally appear. -
This one certainly has curiosity value, but perhaps reinforces the adage that not every change is an improvement. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-LS400-Allard-custom-built-prototype-spares-repair/233784036929?hash=item366e9d4e41:g:RhEAAOSwNNFfstuo

These Allard things do come up from time to time, why I just don't know, what a hideous thing, looks like someone used old bath panels they couldn't bear to throw away. -
Sad to see some of the old Bristols awaiting restoration that link takes you to. I am reminded that Britain produced some very special cars in their day years ago, perhaps beyond the reach of the average motorist. Allard, Alvis, Lagonda and better Sunbeams and Daimlers being some of the others as well as RR and Bentley of course. We might build more cars nowadays but these are almost all assembled for other owners with Morgan being a quirky small scale exception - not sure who owns Aston Martin now, another premium car struggling I believe. We know that with these premium marques you are paying for better coachwork, comfort exclusivity and performance these sort of cars offered in their day. Even the cheapest modern car today is generally going to be more reliable and cheaper to maintain with as much performance as is needed under normal conditions on our overcrowded roads. I knew I guy once who had a number of exotic Italian cars which I am sure will have appreciated but he told me his Ford Escort was the most reliable and best used while the others were just for play. -
no one going for the Allard, then? -
Looks like this one is for sale again http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-Allard-P4-Prototype-/292109958232?hash=item44031c3c58:g:yVMAAOSw~y9ZD9ng -
Come on Mike, as you pointed it out, get your wallet out and buy the LS400 with the orange wheels. Then you can buy this one and put the orange wheels on this!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Allard-Lexus-LS400-Prototype-restored-by-Allard-Motor-Sport-/201233400178?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2eda720172

Definately an abomination with Tarts underwear interior. Yuck - and I always thought well of the name Allard, synonymous with Alvis. Can't beleive anyone would have really bidded other than the seller bouncing off the wall. -
I guess they put a lot of store on their Allard name, hence the valuation as a piece of history. Their problem is convincing somebody else, not helped, imo, by the car hitting every branch of the ugly tree on the way down. -
interesting addition to description on ebay for anyone interested. Please be sure this is not an Allard car, it's registered as a Lexus LS400 and simply has had an Allard conversion applied to the bodywork and some interior alterations. -
On the theme of odd and peculiar cars here is another http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Allard-Lexus-LS400-Prototype-restored-by-Allard-Motor-Sport/201233400178?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D28111%26meid%3Db4e5b00aa7874cc6b056d0136a2edc27%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D11472%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D6%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D271698528378&rt=nc Anyone know anything of its history?
