CONFIRMED for Concours of Elegance 2025: Ligier JS2 We are delighted to announce that a rare Ligier JS2 sports car will join its spectacular lineup at Hampton Court Palace. This extraordinary French machine represents one of France's most intriguing yet overlooked contributions to sports car history and will feature as part of the main concours display comprising 60 of the world's rarest and most significant automobiles. The Ligier JS2 featured a striking fibreglass body with the distinctive nose showcasing headlights under Plexiglas – the trademark JS2 look. Under the bonnet, it housed a powerful Maserati V6 engine, specifically the three-litre version from the Citroen SM. This Franco-Italian collaboration resulted in a lightweight, nimble sports car that weighed just 1,069 kilograms with a rear-biased 60/40 weight distribution.
