Sydney H. Allard, founder of the Allard car company, inspects the Ford V8 engine of his Allard P1 during the 1952 Monte Carlo Rally. Dressed in a checked suit jacket, the bespectacled driver leans intently over the open bay. To his left, a man looks on, his hand raised to his head with a cigarette between his fingers, his face partially obscured by the glare of a flashbulb. With co-driver G. Warburton, Allard would go on to win the rally in this car, narrowly defeating Stirling Moss.
