Deck The Halls!

I must admit that when I saw this ornament on Ebay a month ago, I thought it looked a bit cheesy. Then a friend of the Register sent gave one to us as a Christmas gift; and I must admit that it’s actually pretty cool! The 3 ¾” round wood ornament is cut and etched on both sides with a laser to give it some depth. The detail is pretty crisp and the ornament is finished nicely. You can buy one now on Ebay for $5.75 which includes shipping. Click here or search Ebay for item 200671533242 to buy one now. Merry Christmas!

Roy Richter and his J2

Did you know one of the most influential people in motorsports and the automotive aftermarket, owned and briefly raced one of the first J2's in the US? That man was Roy Richter, owner of Bell Auto Parts, Bell Helmets, and was the leading figure behind SEMA for many decades. He also won the first (and only) sports car race he ever entered...beating the likes of Phil Hill and Jack McAfee at Santa Ana. His racing career was tragically cut short when he confessed to his wife who had been away for the weekend.

Our friends over at the Blog, "Getting' a lil psycho on tyres!" have published another Allard related story, this time on Roy's J2, chassis 1513. Click here to read it!

Graffiti

 

Don't you just hate it when someone writes their name on your car!? It's even worse when they scratch it in the bare aluminum. The nerve...

    ...of course the offense is forgiveable when it's Zora Arkus Duntov signing his old Allard J2 prototype, chassis #1515 currently owned by Jerry Lettieri

Allard Toys & Models

 

By David Watson

Fewer than 200 Allard J2 and J2X models were produced in just three years. Allards certainly entered the public’s consciousness in a big way for American toy makers to go into production of toys derived from such a small overseas car maker.
