2020年8月17日 · The Allard JR was first conceived by designer Dudley Hume in early 1952. In 1952, the Le Mans organizers dictated that cars could no longer race with motor cycle-style fenders; an iconic feature of the popular J2. In late 1951, Allard started delivering the new J2X, which notably featured Dudley’s r

Allard JR – Back on Road & Track We have chosen to build the first Allard JR as an exact copy of the car with which Sydney led the 1953 Le Mans 24 hours race. The intention is to obtain FIA HTP documentation, which would make the car eligible to compete in the International Classics such as the Le Mans race.

The JR was a specially prepared version of the J2X that was made of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Two JRs showed up for the 1953 edition of the race, but both retired. A radical departure from the previous cycle-fender roadsters, the JR used an all-enveloping body that helped it achieve a top speed of 145.35 mph down the Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans.

Beautiful or brutal — take your choice — these Allards were the epitome of early 1950s sports-car design, with their slim alloy bodywork, cycle fenders, flashy knockoff mounted wire wheels and huge powerplants. Cornering at speed was a challenge as a result of Sydney Allard’s affection for a semi-independent front suspension.

The JR Allards had nearly identical mechanical components and configuration to the J2X, but with a unique full-envelop body, devoid of the J2X's cycle fenders. The slim, aerodynamic, lightweight alloy body improved the car's overall top speed.

The Allard JR was a series of competition cars introduced in 1952. The JR was based on the Allard J platform, as was offered as a two seat open top car. These cars were powered by a Cadillac -sourced 5.4L V8 engine that generated 350hp and sent drive to the rear wheels via a 3 speed manual transmission.

The LeMans circuit favored aerodynamic cars. For this, Allard created the streamlined JR model in 1953. They were mechanically identical to the J2-X but given different bodies. There were only seven JR models ever created with two serving as factory entries at …
