Background
Allard, better known for light sports cars, produced a pilot run of around twenty fibreglass-bodied three-wheeled Clipper microcars in 1953–54. The rear-mounted Villiers 24B 346 cc (21.1 cu in) single-cylinder two-stroke motorcycle engine is connected by triple 'V' belt drive to a Burman gearbox which drives the rear left wheel via chain. Suspension is trailing arm using an Andre Neihart rubber mounting design.
