1950 Allard J2 for sale on Hemmings.com. From the seller’s description:
This 1950 J2, chassis #99J1851, is the sister car to the famous Pollard #14 Allard. Tom Carsten, of Pacific NW Racing fame, owned #14 and raced #15 for the owner. The original engine, complete documentation and comprehensive spares package are included.
This special example has a long history in the Pacific NW. Following the loss of Tom Carsten’s number 14 J2 Allard against the tree up Pebble Beach, the sister car owned by David Fogg was prepared for a full club racing career. As the work was started in 1953, it is interesting to speculate that much of the program could’ve found its way into the new production J types. The David Fogg J2 always carrying number 15, was raced extensively in club events in Washington and Oregon between 1954 and 1958. Highly successful during this period, the car was retired as larger Ferraris and Chevrolet engine car spread to the club circuits. This car was always beautifully turned out and fully race-ready, would fit in well with any collection of 50’s and 60’s sports and racing cars.
