Allard J1 (1946)
Altough I’m pretty sure this is a replica, the J1 is often covered by the shadow of its false twin brother, the K1. The J1 was a proper two seater sportscar, which proved to be quite successful in trial events during the late 40’s. A recipe of a very simple and straightforward coachwork, mixed with a massive 3.8 litre V8 engine made sure it hit the history books. Sadly, only 12 examples were built.
