We had one in the paddock of the Jefferson 500 two weeks ago. Just parading around....not racing.
In '09, a fellow named Roger Allard came to the Jefferson 500 with his modern replica J2. He's building these in Quebec. Although he told me he's not related to Sydney Allard, he became interested in the cars due to his last name.
And from there he started the company.

They are actually pretty neat; the one I saw had a modern Chrysler Hemi engine.
Here's Roger in one of his replicas (...and below: Brian Redman drove it as our pace car that weekend):

Saw another Allard today. Had to do a bit of Googling to track its down. Thought at first someone had glued an Allard badge on the back of a Mercedes but as I passed it the front was all wrong for a Merc. Turns out it was a Lexus Allard. Apparently only three built of which one was destroyed. So a rarity indeed. https://www.mulsannescorner.com/allardj2xstoryphoto-1.html
A job one-third complete.

A pal in PA had a chance to drive one of the Caddy engined J-2 ones on the track. Said the front suspension was diabolical. If it got loaded the thing would go to toe-out and positive camber. If unloaded it went the opposite. I guess bump-steer was not a big consideration. Railroad tracks must have given a driver absolute fits!

Wow, that Lexus Allard is really ugly. It really is a shame that two of those things are still running around.
