The front suspension was the standard Allard Bellamy split axle but with the radius rods behind the axle and pivoting in line with the front axle pivot points.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/121008-2222-sydneyallar2-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-799105 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/121008-2222-sydneyallar2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"316\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/121008-2222-sydneyallar2-1.jpg 316w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/121008-2222-sydneyallar2-1-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/121008-2222-sydneyallar2-1-100x68.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/121008-2222-sydneyallar2-1-293x198.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 316px) 100vw, 316px\" \/><\/a>With engine choices limited in the post World War II period, Sydney chose a lightweight, air-cooled Austrian Steyr V8 that was used in WWII armored cars. \u00a0Allard modified it for competition and the engine developed 150 horsepower at 4,000 rpm with the finished car weighing only about 1,600 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been said that the car&#8217;s layout was determined by having Sydney sit on a soapbox on the workshop floor,&#8221; noted Davis.\u00a0&#8220;They propped the V8 and gearbox on a wooden box to approximate the correct height, with broomsticks acting as axles for the front and rear wheels to create the 100 inch wheelbase.\u00a0The car&#8217;s dimensions were then written in chalk on the factory concrete floor and construction began following the chalk outline.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In 1994, the car was fully dismantled and a long, six year restoration process was completed.\u00a0The car is currently in 1949 Hill Climb championship-winning configuration with the coil sprung De Dion rear end, rear tubular shock absorbers, rear inboard brakes with Alfin drums and rear wheel drive.\u00a0It is also complete with documentation, spares and a unique Allard battery cart.\u00a0Since restoration, it has competed regularly at numerous hill climb events and continues to receive invitations to special events such as the 2003 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where it won its competition class.<\/p>\n<p>The 1947 Allard will be joined by approximately 1,000 collector vehicles and automobilia to be sold at the historic Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barrett-jackson.com\">www.barrett-jackson.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: Barrett-Jackson]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 1947 Steyr-Allard racer owned by the legendary Sydney Allard, one of America&#8217;s greatest automotive pioneers, will be sold at No Reserve during the 38th annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, January 11-18, 2009.
