Michelin 16F or Blockley’s best reinforced tube, which is what I normally buy.

Dave,

you can buy a repair kit or (my preference) fit an electric fuel pump.

Some people have both, so an electric pump for starting which they then switch off and have the mechanical pump take over.

I use an electric pump through a Malpassi fuel pressure regulator and  bypass the mechanical pump. This works very well.

Colin,

probably the least ‘technical’ member to answer this question but when I have had gearbox work done, the engine came out.

Hi Cameron, whereabouts in the country are you?

London car delivered on 4th September 1950 according to the Tom Lush book. I’m an Allard novice and so someone might tell me I’m talking nonsense but I would have thought that triple carbs on a P1 was fairly unusual.

Best of luck if you decide to buy.

Thanks David.

I’m having the car collected on Thursday so not got to grips with it yet. I don’t think it’s been used much over the years so I’ll need to do the usual recommissioning and take it gingerly (and local) at first.

I spoke to Aldridge Trimming (in Wolverhampton) today and they can make up the hood and side screens from photos they say (obviously with the car in their workshops) so it would be useful to get some decent photos of member’s L types weather gear on their cars (particularly the side screens and frames) and maybe some measurements of the frames etc. I think that might do it.

Thanks Ben, I’ll try to make the next Zoom meeting and, yes, looking forward to getting to some events.

Cheers.
