Please identify this car correctly so I can give you a point!

Experts?

[woodinsight]

Allard J2X 1952 possibly fitted with a Chrysler engine?

[pnegyesi]

The basis was an Allard

[woodinsight]

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

[pnegyesi]

Not by him

[woodinsight]

Ray Saidel's Oldsmobile-engined Allard J2X Le Mans?

[pnegyesi]

Nope

[Allan L]

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)

[pnegyesi]

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

[woodinsight]

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.

[pnegyesi]

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

[pnegyesi]

Black Hole?

[Otto Puzzell]

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]

I don't think so

[Vincent Vell Vet]

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

[pnegyesi]

No, this one did not have a Cadillac engine

[barrett]

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

[pnegyesi]

Yes, that's all I know too
