Allard Register

PPS: I was hoping to someday publish this article in a car magazine devoted to bad writing, but after the recent passing of Clive Cussler, I felt it was a good time to share the story of his J2X. His J2X was also the cover car for his 2016 book, “Built to Thrill”. As Allard enthusiasts, we can also agree that Clive Cussler’s best Dirk Pitt adventure was the book, “Shock Wave” which featured Dirk’s J2X. Thanks for the adventures Clive! While digging through our archives, we found these notes from Dudley Hume, likely sent to Tom Turner back in the 90’s. There’s some very interesting insights, we hope you enjoy!
