Several folks may remember the classic 1956 Hollywood movie “Written on the Wind” – starring Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall, Dorothy Malone, and Robert Stack. The basic plot centers on an alcoholic playboy Kyle Hadley (Robert Stack) who marries the woman secretly loved by his poor but hard-working best friend, who in turn is pursued by Kyle’s nymphomaniac sister.

My earliest memory of an Allard was sitting in the cockpit of Fred Warner’s J2X (chassis #2192, now owned by David Mundy) as we loaded it onto the trailer to go to some race in 1954. The sound and vibrations of the open exhaust left a lasting impression in me. My father, Frank Burrell, often spoke about the incredible acceleration of the Allards with the Hydramatic transmissions. Zero to sixty in 4 ½ seconds in the early 50’s was quite impressive.

We have welcomed the opportunity to share several excellent articles about Sydney Allard’s Steyr-powered racer over the years. The first was Kerry Horan’s 2002 article (AR 33 The STEYR-ALLARD Runs Again! – Shelsley Walsh 2001) where he detailed how he painstakingly restored the car to its 1949 hillclimb configuration. This was in preparation for some demonstration runs at Shelsley Walsh, where Sydney Allard drove the car at Shelsley Walsh’s 50th Anniversary in 1951.
Tuesday, April 21, 2009 at 2:30PM We're pleased to report that much of the basic web site is operational now.
Car Pages: The majority of the car pages have been posted from the old site, and we hope to upgrade them soon with more detailed write ups, additional photos, and pdf brochures.
Archives: Probably the most significant upgrade to the site is the addition of 80 past issues of the 1st generation of the Allard Register dating back to 1971. These back issues contain a wealth of interesting information and stories. Additionaly, we have all of the back issues of the 2nd generation Allard Register dating from 1988 to the present.
We Need Your Help! As stated previously, this web site is much more interactive and easier to update. You can post a comment on any article (coming soon!) and we can quickly and easily update the site. If you would like to add something, let us know by clicking here.
Enjoy!
