1992 Allard J2X Tribute SOLD

For Sale 1992 Allard J2X Tribute built by Carl Wade

Road and Race Specialist Cars are proud to offer this once in a life time opportunity to own a piece of history that most of us dream of.
Presented for sale is a near perfect tool room copy of this iconic motorcar. Carl Wade took a mould from an original Neil Hardy barn find Allard and meticulously recreated this near perfect example which is recognised to be one, if not the finest example ever built. To complement the history, Allard Registry recognises this his car as the only right-hand-drive car ever built,
When Carl Wade built this car it was a statement to the world and later ran to a limited run of left-hand-drive cars, heavily modified to meet Federal legislation, which were sold in the 1990s by Hardy Motors.
Built on a 102-inch wheelbase ladder-frame chassis, powered by a Chevrolet 5. 7-litre, V8 engine which is fitted with
Edelbrock air filter, performance heads and performance manifold package, a Comp Cams high-torque camshaft, four-choke carburettor, big bore heat-wrapped headers, and a tuned side-exit exhaust with a soundtrack that makes you tingle. The result is a power output well in excess of 380bhp and a massive 412lb/ ft of torque as well as an engine sound to die for – and all in a car that weights only 978kgs including fuel.
Hydraulic brakes on all four corners – vented discs at the front and solid at the rear – help it pull up four-square no matter what the velocity and a torsion bar front end and all-independent rear suspension help the driver keep it pointing in the right direction.

Having undergone extensive re-commissioning only 1, 100 miles ago the work was significant and wide-ranging and included the removal and full rebuilding of the engine, partial rewiring, a new radiator, hoses, and a number of upgrades to improve its drivability. A full dyno session at the famous engine builder and historic race car specialist Stanton Motorsports to enable it to fulfil its considerable potential.
Draw your attention to the outside and follow the creativity around this car. Swollen rear wings, long bonnet housing the incredible 5. 7ltr fire breathing V8, a huge bonnet scoop drawing as much air as possible, wire wheels, side-exit exhausts and more.
The J2X is supplied with a degree of wet weather protection with a matching leather tonneau cover,
Further works were carried out during the recommissioning which included newly built splined hubs for the powder-coated new wire wheels, which were custom-made and supplied by Orsen Equipment, setting the owner back £2, 662. Unequal in size – the fronts are 6” x 15”, while the rears are an inch wider, the diameter being stepped down an inch as proper racing rubber isn’t available for the original 16” rims - they are fitted with matching Avon CR6 ZZ tyres, 185/ 70R15 on the front and 215/ 70R15 on the rear.
Engine rebuilt only 1, 100 miles and two oil changes ago, so now fully run-in, the work included new forged pistons, connecting rods and a four-bolt crankshaft, all fully balanced. There’s a pair of pressure-tested Edelbrock cylinder heads too, plus a new oil pump, distributor, hydraulic tappets, valves, seals, and gaskets all topped off with a new clutch, master cylinder and race release bearing. A custom-made oil catch tank is fitted for safety.
The Borg Warner T10(S) gearbox was fully refurbished and it mates to a new, custom-built and fully balanced propshaft to the rear axle.
Brand new Titan Wilwood four-pot race calipers and ventilated Porsche front disc brakes are so effective they came with a nigh-on four-figure price tag - plus fitting. The rear brakes are equally convincing being discs, a choice that also demonstrates the owner’s impeccable taste. The good work continues because the whole lot is connected via a split front/ rear brake system with separate fluid reservoirs, a manual brake balance system, and new master cylinders for both front and rear circuits.

On the Inside
Finished in burgundy ox-blood leather cross-stitched in a fetching diamond pattern, it is still in an absolutely stunning, albeit lightly patinated, condition giving that authentic feel.
It’s got a machine-turned dashboard too, which acts in concert with the array of dials and switches to give a convincing period-feel to the cockpit.
Safety is taken care of via a pair of full Willans FIA-approved harnesses bolted to a pair of Hayward & Scott roll bars, plus a fire extinguisher and an electrical cut-off switch.
The boot is, well, it’s in an almost new condition. Obviously. It also contains a few spares.

The J2X Tribute has an MOT running until next June 2023, gained, of course, with no advisories, something it’s done for the past seven years.
