Allard J2 (1949 to 1952)

The Allard J2 was a series of sports cars introduced in 1949. The J2 was built on the Allard J platform, and was offered as a two-seat, rear wheel drive roadster intended for the American market. These cars were available from the factory with either a Ford or Mercury V8 engine, although later in production, the J2 was shipped without an engine, in order for buyers to fit their desired engine. A total of 90 examples of the Allard J2 were built with production lasting until 1952. The J2 was replaced by the Allard J2X, which was largely an updated version of the J2.
