The 5:45 am M4 commute is not normally a good place to do a bit of spotting but this morning this came past me.

J-Type?

 

 

[Junkman]

I have no idea what it is, but it sure looks like what I'd like to commute in if I had to commute.

Or a Model T.

Allard alright.....P1 Saloon with flathead V8 Ford originally, don't know what that one is rocking but I have seen it about....

Cruising quite happily at just over 70mph

[NorfolkNWeigh]

It's a 1950 P1, apparently, I had to look it up .

The owner seems to get a bit of use out of it, including competition

Try's quite hard too.

 

You're not the first Shiter to spot it, that last pictures one of Trigger's.

[Station]

Definitely a Transit.

[vulgalour]

They have the sort of styling only its designer could really love.

"Dog Kennel of a body perched on a racing car" was one contemporary quote, I believe....I think its rather nice!

[jonny69]

Loved the old days of being able to buy engines and stuff to build your own cars.

 

Step 1: ring up Ford.

 

"Hi, can I speak to Henry Ford, please?"

 

"Just a minute..."

 

"Y'ello, Henry speaking..."

 

"Hi, it's Syd Allard. I'd like to buy some flatheads and Pilot chassis to build my own cars."

 

"Yo, wassup dawg! How many d'ya need?"

[Station]

 

 

SA: "Hi, it's Syd Allard. I'd like to buy some flatheads and Pilot chassis to build my own cars."

 

HF: "OK. Firstly a) Are you a Jew?"

 

SA: "No"

 

HF: "b) Will it be black?"

 

SA: "Yes"

 

HF: "OK BUD, CAN U COLEKT TONITE BUD?"

My dad's mates car, the old man was in it when it reversed into a lamp post at speed.

 

[simmo]

I think my dad had a share in this one

That drophead looks lovely, the rear end treatment is immeasurably nicer than the saloon was inflicted with, if decidedly more conventional.

[320touring]

These look absolutely tip top!

 

What a lot of honeys!

 

Gotta love a lush motor like these- like a Super Snipe with a touch more class

[FakeConcern]

Shame it's the front that's so hideous!

[tooSavvy]

Henrys 'I beam' front axle was chopped/dropped/centre pivot (a la Imp!)....

 

A 'think out da box' Allard "no need to buy in a bespoke part, lads" innovation.

Love seeing motors like this out and about on the daily grind.

 

I was very pleased to be overtaken by a Morse-spec Jag in Thursday's rush hour.

 

Proves you can run these cars every day, all year round if you've got the stones and/or deep enough pockets.
