1952 Allard J2X Le Mans Race Car

Founded by competition enthusiast Sydney Herbert Allard in 1946, the Allard Motor Company produced around 1,900 cars that evolved from 12 pre-war special motors.

Perhaps the most famous of the Allard cars is the J2 competition two seater, in which Sydney came 3rd in the 1950 Le Mans race. The J2 was updated, forming the limited production J2X in 1952. With just 82 produced, the J2X was the most successful of Allard's racing cars between 1951 and 1954.
