Allard J2X #3077 left the factory in October of 1952. One of 83 J2Xs built, it was equipped with a current Cadillac 331 cubic-inch eight-cylinder engine coupled to a three-speed Lincoln transmission. It is believed to have raced in California and its first known owner was Tiny Gould in 1975. It later passed through the Don Marsh Collection and traveled back to the United Kingdom in the late 1980s where it was featured in an article in Classic and Sportscar Magazine. The current owner purchased it in 2001.

Since that time, the car has been driven over 23,000 miles around the country without the benefit of a windshield, top or side curtains. It has participated in the Colorado Grand, the Texas 1000 and the Mountain Mille along with other classic events. The car differs only slightly from the original in having a Muncie four-speed transmission installed and a single change to the electrical system.
