This 1992 Allard P4 is reportedly one of three Lexus LS400-based prototypes made, though the other two have since been wrecked making it the only survivor. A truly bizarre story involves the grand old British sports car company and Toyota negotiating a deal in which first-generation LS400’s would be sold as Allards in an effort to capitalize on the reborn company’s J2X Group C prototype. Unfortunately both efforts were destined to fail, leaving only a few racers and this lightly re-styled (but seemingly otherwise unmodified) Lexus as reminders. Find it here on eBay in Hemel Hempstead, England for 10k GBP (~$12,900 USD today). Special thanks to BaT reader Kyle K. for this submission.

According to the ad, negotiations were going well between the two companies, but for some reason the deal ultimately fell flat. This car has been around the block with 132k miles registered on the odometer, and the seller says that provided documentation shows it was bought back by Allard at one point. They had it wrapped, and when vinyl was removed it took much of the underlying paint with it. It’s since been resprayed and finish is said to be excellent.

Unfortunately no interior photos are provided, but exterior changes include the front fascia (though not the bumper or trim beneath it) and rear light treatment, as well as a neat custom lower rear valance and sharp basketweave wheels. No spec is provided, but is presumed to be standard Lexus, and we wouldn’t be surprised to discover high-range options like air suspension and Nakamichi sound. Says the seller: “Mechanically the car is good. Starts first time and drives beautifully, almost silently.”
