Nope. Unless you were talking about that animal in the background - oh, no, that's a lion

This is one of two Allard P3 models built in 1992, based on the Lexus LS400.

Impressive, especially since there is hardly no reference at all to these cars anywhere on the web.

But congratulations!

(...) especially since there is hardly no reference at all to these cars anywhere on the web.(...)

most likely because it is named Allard CL4 in most sources...?

[Arunas]

Wow! Was it a prototype of a production car or a concept model?

[Allemano]

I'm not sure, but as far as I understand it was a still-born project intended for a small series production car.

I have a 1995 promotion package for the Allard P4 in my collection.
Well, it is just 5 pages printed in colour by a persional computer in that days.
Thatīs been all available at that time.

It was a Harold Radford creation, by the way.

And there must be a colour ad in CAR 6/95, as my hard discīs found out.

But do not ask me where I might find both...

To add to Grobmotorix's correct information about this Allard P4, the car was the brainchild of designer Chris Humberstone who purchased the rights to the Radford name in the early 1990s to begin remaking and selling Radford Minis from a posh showroom in West London.  The Allard P4 was based on a Lexus LS430 and at least two were built.

I guess the title has to be changed to "Allard P4". Any objections?

[grobmotorix]

No...
