I agree, who knows one day I may change it back to its original colour.

Thank you for posting the photos! The engine bay one is very interesting. Looks like the radiator support is wrapped in a carbon fiber pattern!

Is that molded into the front fascia too? Really fascinating car

It looks like the front end is carbon fibre and it moulded into the font wings. The bonnet is fibreglass I think. I have a feeling the rear boot is also fibreglass but I need to investigate further.

it’s definitely an interesting car. I need a free day to have a proper look.

Completely random, but on the same topic - it looks like there was another similar but different prototype that was in the UK as well, reg GH 5988.

It's a little different in the design of the front fascia, but overall similar.

This one appears to have a regular LS 400 interior, as opposed to the special blue and red one on K817 EUV.

Unfortunately though, it looks to have been wrecked and now is being parted out or has been crushed.

Listed by qwikcarpartz on Ebay, located in Motherwell, UK.

There was also this green P4 discovered last year, which appears to be the same car shown in my first post, reg K795 VBW. Hopefully, it was not scrapped.

Side note - some more pictures again from the past of your car, Dave, and a recent article:
https://www.allardregister.org/blog/...prototype.html
https://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/fo...7-lexusallard/
https://www.car-revs-daily.com/2021/...collaboration/

All of this means that your car is either 1 of 2 remaining, or 1 of 1. Out of the 3 known prototypes, yours is a 1 of 1 in terms of overall design.

Update on the Allard P4, original registration K795 VBW

The car was listed on Ebay in the UK in November 2022. It is unknown if the car was sold or what happened to it beyond that point in time.

Photos attached.
