barefoot Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Looking at the wheels and stance, and the fact that it's at a VW swapmeet, it's pretty certain to be air-cooled & rear engined.I have no comment to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Someone did that with a normal Allegro too, it looked surprisingly good. Absurd though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Personally would have liked to seen either of those at stock height with stock hubcaps on steels of some sort. Much more of a headfuck that way and in the case of the saloon one that was done, probably more practical since you could still put the rear seat in properly.

D Spares & Tyres Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 IMG_3233.JPGWell that is a nice looking door. How much, squire? (Its the least of the Allegro's worries really!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squire_Dawson Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 How does £40 sound? Genuine BL panel etc. It's the other side rear door which is the rare one, so I was told. D Spares & Tyres 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatfoolish Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Why are offside rear doors particularly rare? Is there a peculiarity of the metal work which makes them rot more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squire_Dawson Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I have no idea, but I had it on good authority. Put it down to BL intransigence, it wasn't uncommon for someone to get the figures wrong. Maybe he was told that by someone who has a stash of offside rear doors....? Not so, as I bought all my doors off the chap who told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeEP Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Having owned Allegros for 20 years I can vouch for the fact that the offside rear door is the hardest to find, yet also don't have a good reason as to why. Apparently true of Maxis/Landcrabs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiC Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 It's a no unfortunately. Also not one for me. Looks like a good little project but I much prefer the standard Allegro and I don't really have much attachment to these.
