2006 Allard J2X MKII

The Legend

The legendary British roadster, the Allard J2X, is back in production, some 50 years after its London-based operation ceased offering this successful model. From 1951-54, the Allard Motor Company, under the leadership of Sydney Allard, built 83 J2Xs. A number of these gained international recognition on closed circuit racetracks, rallies and hillclimbs, in Europe and in North America, at the hands of such iconic figures as Carroll Shelby, Zora Duntov, Masten Gregory, Gen. Curtis LeMay, Bill Pollack, Steve McQueen and of course, Sydney Allard (who place 3rd in LeMans with his J-type).
Today, Montreal-based Allard Motor Works Inc. (AMW), founded in 1999 by Roger P. Allard, is reintroducing the J2X to world markets. With design and prototyping offices in Montreal and production facilities in Champlain, NY, the company has set its annual production upper-limit of J2Xs at 100 units per year. 'We want to provide our customers with a high-quality handcrafted product that will remain rare and provide appreciating values over time,' comments Roger Allard. 'We are in an enviable position having been awarded, by the Allard Registry, special serial numbers and all of our vehicles are included in the Allard Registry.'




The Allard J2X Mk1 will continue the tradition of powering its roadster with big American V-8s, with the GM 350 RamJet PFI (350 hp) as its standard engine, offering the Chrysler 5.7 liter Hemi, the 6.1 liter Hemi and the Cadillac rear-drive Northstar as options. The standard transmission is the Tremec TKO 5-speed with overdrive. Automatic is optional. The suspension is independent front and back with fully-adjustable shocks. The front suspension uses unequal A-arms at the front, rack & pinion steering and is equipped with Wilwood 4-piston rotors. The rear sports a cast aluminium center section with a 9' differential, inboard ventilated Wilwood disc brakes, aluminium risers, providing a minimum of unsprung weight on the 235 x 60 x 16' Dunlop ZR-rated performance tires.

These are mounted on 72-spoke Dayton Wire wheels. The cockpit is dressed in high quality leathers and carpets, machine-turned aluminium dash, mahogany or walnut steering wheel, adjustable bucket seats and the original layout of instruments which included ‘Allard' signature instruments that mean business.



The Allard J2X Mk1 are produced in Champlain, NY, and Montreal. Engineering has begun on a number of options to include a full-width windshield, an all-weather rag-top unit and a lightweight rigid removable hardtop. A track version is also in the planning stages. Allard Motor Works is currently offering a full line of complimentary accessories to include ‘Allard' bomber jackets, aviator-style helmets, gauntlets, goggles, silk scarves, limited edition art and performance accessories. These can be found at www.rpmvintageclassics.com.

Current list price for the Allard J2X Mk1 is ÚSD $95,000. While dealership arrangements are being explored in North America, Europe, Australia and the Orient, all sales are currently handled directly by Allard Motor Works.
