The Allard L is a four-seater sports tourer manufactured by the British company Allard from 1946 to 1950.

The car was powered by a side-controlled V8 engine from the Ford Pilot with a displacement of 3622 cm³ (bore × stroke = 77.79 mm × 95.25 mm). The 6.1: 1 compressed unit was equipped with a Ford carburetor and made 85 bhp (62.5 kW) at 3500 rpm. The engine power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a manual three-speed gearbox and a cardan shaft .

The front wheels were individually suspended from a transverse leaf spring on the particularly light frame. The driven rigid axle was installed at the rear, which was also attached to a transverse leaf spring. This resulted in a wheelbase of 2845 mm and a front / rear track of 1473 mm.

In 1950 the touring car was discontinued without a successor.
