Allard J2X 1952 possibly fitted with a Chrysler engine?

The basis was an Allard

Perhaps it's Scott Beckett's Lo-Test Special based on an Allard J2X?

Not by him

Well, as said before, it looks superficially like a J2X Le Mans but the opening lines of the bonnet are more like the JR.
Unusual that it's left-handed as even those raced in the USofA were not always so. The windscreen is as found on the unstreamlined J2/J2X so perhaps it was once one of those such as Erwin Goldschmit's (he later had a JR)

I believe this was built in North America, but not in the US of A

I can't find any reference to this car at the moment.
I presume it was built in Canada but I'd be surprised if it was built by the current Allard Motor Works.

It was built in Canada by an individual, not a company

Would the individual be known for any other cars he or she built?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #15 on:** February 27, 2011, 10:53:20 AM »

I don't think so

Lotsa Allards had Caddy mills in them, this one do?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #17 on:** February 27, 2011, 11:10:03 PM »

No, this one did not have a Cadillac engine

This is the Farrow Special, or Ford Special, built by Brock Farrow and with a Flathead Ford V8

Yes, that's all I know too
