The Allard name will once again be seen on European
roads, with the announcement that the Canadian-built Allard J2X MK II will be distributed across the
continent by UK-based Premium Classic Cars Ltd.
The original Allard J2X was a limited production road racing car which totalled only 83 cars during
its original production run between 1951 and 1954. The combination of powerful American V8 power and a
lightweight chassis made a formidable machine that was put to good work in the hands of drivers such
as Masten Gregory, Carroll Shelby and Steve McQueen.
Now, the Allard Motor Works has revived this legendary machine with the launch of the J2X MK II; a
bespoke, modern, handcrafted version of the famed British competition roadster which integrates modern
build quality and safety technology into the iconic design. Comfort, reliability and blistering
performance are assured via a comprehensive mechanical specification which includes a 350 bhp, fuel
injected, GM Ram Jet V8 with over 400 lb ft of torque.

Premium Classic Cars Director, Phil Dunmore says: "The Allard J2X MK II is an outstandingly good,
high-quality, high-performance low-volume sports car, and its appeal will be obvious to anyone who sees
or drives one. It is true to the original design but offers far greater levels of comfort, reliability
and refinement. This is a bespoke, modern performance car with its roots in a glorious past and that's
a recipe that will appeal to a lot of discerning European enthusiasts."
In fact, so accurate is the attention to detail and the quality of manufacturing that the official
Allard Registry grants official numbering to these MK11 cars.
The Allard J2X MK II was seen on the Premium Classic Cars stand at the NEC Classic Motor Show,
over the 12th, 13th and 14th November in England.
