Quote from: mtread on 21 September 2017, 07:45:45 pmI remember climbing up to a scrapped Allegro to take off a door handle. Breaking it. Quietly checking nobody had noticed, and moving on to the next scrapped Allegro. Those were the days :-)I've owned 2 Allegro's and the one thing that pleases me is the thought that the majority of them have been scraped many years ago. I too spent many weekends at the scrappies trying to keep my heap of junk going. There used to be a couple of bike breakers where they had bikes lined up ready for breaking. I even bought a few to put back on the road but all those places are long gone. Best places are forums or flea Bay.

Ahh! The good old Austin All Aggro, I owned only one of them, not quite sure how anyone managed to own two of them?Mine was the colour of baby shit, that nasty fawny beigey colour.
Terry replied he hasn't got any in stock, the guy replied funny that cos mine are only 15 quid when I don't have any in stock.

It was baby shit brown too. It only lasted about six weeks before it blew up. Went well though. 1750 sport (with square steering wheel...)As I needed a car rather urgently I ended up buying another one as the Capri I was eyeing up had been sold 10 minutes before I got there. This time I had bought the Vanden Plas 1500 version! Oooh very posh It was actually a nice car. Broke down just about every week for the year I owned it. Drove me crazy with all the things that went wrong with it.This was the last time it broke down on me. In the friggin middle of no-where with an hours walk to the nearest house with a telephone. I had it repaired and I took it straight to the auctions and got rid!
well OCT 554N must have been crushed as its details are no longer available with dvla-would have gone picture hunting in the allegro owners club archives if it was still on the road
ahh was hard to read with that lowered stance lolGCT554N was taken off the road in 1988 by the looks of it
