Back in early 60s My grandfathers neighbor gave me an allard J2, it had been sitting in a rotten garage in Perry bar Birmingham, We towed it back to my Dads garage and started to get the seized engine moving. Long story short, Dad wanted his garage back we gave the car an enthusiast. Never forget being towed with amazing comfort steering and brakes that worked. If its still around it must be worth a fortune. Love to get my hands on one.

Dang. That car must have cost a fortune when it was new. Probably somewhere between a new Corvette and a Rolls Royce or Ferrari?? Having a neighbor hand it to you is super cool.

I've always loved Allard's since the day that I first saw one as a child in the 1950s, then an acquaintance bought a J2 in the late '60's. I can't say that he was a "friend" as the guy was a jerk, but his car was spectacular... Thanks for making this video. Well done!

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Thank you!!

[@annamardi9626]

That little Allard Clipper! Love it!

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

SAME!

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

What do you think of the Allard? Did you know both Zora and Carroll drove them? What should I cover next?

[@mattshepp9219]

Good stuff. My uncle always wanted an Allard! Carroll Shelby was a legend that is for sure.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

@@mattshepp9219 thanks! A cool history for sure

Nice, the Allard history was way cool too.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Thanks and agreed!

[@kennytuns8078]

Great quick video on the Allard. I'd seen just a handful before

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Glad you liked it!

I'm a relative of Sydney (My Grandads 1st cousin), thanks for making this video! Fairly comprehensive but lots missed!

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

How cool! Yes, agreed, hard to fit in every ounce of it! Glad you liked it.

[@RichardWagner3]

[@georgejosephs8611]

Always look forward to your vids!

Glad you like them!

9:30 I believe that happened somewhere in the late 1980s. As a Group C fan, I think the 1992 J2X-C was well designed & may have had potential, with a proper engine.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

agreed!

[@adrianmonk4440]

Well done indeed, Lass.

[@jamesbambury]

“Today is a good day” new car history video, you got that right! Do you have a patron community or do online events where we can meet you? Hope the egg and spoon races kept the kids busy.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Working on it!

[@williambarry8015]

Were they metal bodies or fiberglass? Bet when they were new they cost as much as a small house?

[@jessbillings4840]

I was pretty unfamliar with Allard before this!

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Thanks for watching!

[@Yuoskalola]

Your videos would be way better if you didn't hog the screen and or split it with yourself.It's too much. You should be in it full in the beginning then show up in the middle and the end. Just some constructive criticism.

Have you been to Brooklands?
