Does anyone have any spec/ drawings on the allard j2x or the k1 /2. It pretty much fits my wheelbase and track and taste. And the little lady went "OH wow" instead of the usual "its your car make what ever way you like" . And if Shes happy with it it makes my time working on it more available.

Each to their own tastes, I guess...

It looks like a bullfrog as it is.

definately needs the spares taken off and narrow the nose. But other than that I quite like it.

Cant say I like that. Very little looks correct on it to my taste( which apperantly is in question ) I think the allard has done the ass end of the car very smoothly , but their undertaking-read copying- of the Alfa/Maserati tipo front end is very bloated.

The Allard was a big car --- it was V8 side valve Ford or Caddy powered. About 15 years since I last had a good look at one --- ISTR Mainly Ford Pilot based I think the Front suspension was a Ford Pilot axle sawn in two and turned into a swing axle in a similar way to way the Lotus 6 suspension fabricated was but BIGGER

There is a company in Quebec selling them now. http://www.allardj2x.com/
all new suspension 420hp but still alot of over hang on the ends. But I still like it.

If you wanna see a proper J2 get to Brighton Speed Trials in September.

There's a couple who've been racing theirs for donkey's years and, while it's one of the older car, it's usually faster than, if not all, most.
