From the drawing board

This section of the web site contains recollections and technical comment from AOC member David Hooper, who held the honourable position of Chief Draughtsman & Chief Engineer at the Allard Motor Company from 1948-1965. In David’s words, many of the projects he was responsible for “started with Sydney’s ball point sketches, which included a certain amount of detail which I then had to get made”. Testament should be given to David’s success in transforming Sydney’s sketches into the effective feats of engineering that obviously went a long way in helping the Allard Motor Company achieve the success that it did.
