Spotted in Middletown

That's not an Allegro, that's a Vanden Plas

It looks sad.

[chaseracer]

Amazing that someone actually 'designed' that front end - with its unique bonnet pressing, etc. - and thought it good.

 

And yes, I would happily buy and run one!

 

[purplebargeken]

They all look sad face.

My grandad had one new in 1975, trading the M-reg (very late!) Austin 1300 he'd brought with him when he moved down from north Wales.  

 

It was swiped by a truck's wheel at six months old and was never quite the same after that, losing three windscreens in the next year.  He replaced it with a Simca 1100, which even he admitted was not a good choice...

That's ace, how do you know it's abandoned??

Well..... It's in a garage front yard, surrounded by cars that haven't moved for a long time, it's stinking dirty, and looks like it hasn't moved in years. Not going anywhere in a hurry! Sorry about poor pics, it was the middle of the night!

Chocolate Brown too, with an AA badge on the grill me thinks!

not only that, but BL made an ACTUAL profit on each one they sold.

 

take a little car and make it very up market, a trick that BL/ARG etc would use again with the SD3 and R8, with the same result.

Man wanders round at night taking mucky pics, AS on the loose ?

Ah, righto, with it being in with a load of other cars it looks like it's at least "owned" as it were, and therefore someone to approach could be had

My Grandad had one in 1976, when he retired, trading in a 3 litre wolsley crab for a pile of shite, because in the previous year the wolsey, had needed a new steering rack.

I remember that as a 13 year old in about 1980, I could not sit upright in the rear seat despite me never quite hitting 6 foot.

3 Litre Wolseley crab ? Hope your childhood memories are incorrect, or was it the drugs ?
