Sydney H. Allard, founder of the Allard car company, stands beside his Allard P1 during the 1952 Monte Carlo Rally. Dressed in a light-colored trench coat, he looks towards the camera with his hands in his pockets. The car, numbered 146, shows clear evidence of the demanding event, its front right fender noticeably damaged and patched with primer. With co-driver G. Warburton, Allard started from Glasgow and went on to win the rally, narrowly defeating Stirling Moss. In the background, a truck advertises “BRETOCYL Graphité” on a cool, damp day.
