The J2X was a limited production racing / touring car. Although only 83 were produced between 1951 and 1954, these were the most successful racers of the Allard collection. The Allard Motor Company never produced its own engines, instead successfully integrating existing American power plants into its cars to threaten the dominance of racing circuits by larger producers.
Factory Allard J2Xs were usually equipped with a Ford-Mercury flathead, but high-rollers, installed more desirable Chrysler 331 Hemi Firepower or Cadillac V8 engines for racing on road courses that made its exploits legendary.
