#TheSimeone 1950 Allard J2

Our 1950 Allard J2 raced at Watkins Glen in 1951 and 1952 and still retains its original 331 Cadillac V8, installed when the car was new. It is a significant example of the Anglo American hybrid that made Allard competitive in the early postwar years, pairing lightweight British construction with large displacement American power.

Cars like this also connect directly to Carroll Shelby’s early career, as he drove Cadillac powered Allards before the Cobra years, helping establish his reputation in American sports car racing.
