allard j2x dimmensions
Does anyone have any spec/ drawings on the allard j2x or the k1 /2. It pretty much fits my wheelbase and track and taste. And the little lady went
"OH wow" instead of the usual "its your car make what ever way you like" . And if Shes happy with it it makes my time working on
it more available.

It needs a little something...
It looks like a bullfrog as it is.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

definately needs the spares taken off and narrow the nose. But other than that I quite like it.

Cant say I like that. Very little looks correct on it to my taste( which apperantly is in question  ) I think the allard has done the ass end of
the car very smoothly , but their undertaking-read copying- of the Alfa/Maserati tipo front end is very bloated.

The Allard was a big car --- it was V8 side valve Ford or Caddy powered. About 15 years since I last had a good look at one --- ISTR Mainly Ford
Pilot based I think the Front suspension was a Ford Pilot axle sawn in two and turned into a swing axle in a similar way to way the Lotus 6 suspension
fabricated was but BIGGER

If you wanna see a proper J2 get to Brighton Speed Trials in September.
There's a couple who've been racing theirs for donkey's years and, while it's one of the older car, it's usually faster than,
if not all, most.
