RARELY SEEN. NEVER FORGOTTEN

The Allard Motor Works J2X® Mk3 is a modern, hand-built evolution of the iconic British competition roadster that turned heads and broke records in Europe and North America in the early 1950s. Faithful to the original design and proportions, the J2X® Mk3 blends heritage styling with contemporary chassis engineering, braking, and powertrain technology. The result is a safer, more comfortable and reliable machine that still delivers the visceral, uncompromised performance expected of a true competition-bred roadster.

Allard Motor Works is reintroducing our limited production roadster for classic and vintage car aficionados, as well as for collectors. The J2X® MkII and the J2X® MkIII are documented in the Allard Motor Works Register. Each vehicle’s component serial numbers and build details are archived for future consultation and authentication by collectors, restorers and estimators. Owners of our J2X® are invited to join the Allard community as a member of the Allard Owners Club. This eclectic club is a great way to share your experience with Allard owners and aficionados from around the world.

Allard Motor Works recognizes that many individuals are looking for a classic car that is distinctive, unique and exclusive. To those enthusiasts, rest assured that we also want to keep them rare and have tailored our offerings to keep it that way. So, if you ever see another J2X® MkIII on the road, you know that he also belongs to an exclusive fraternity.
