remember when most, if not all of Allegro's running about were like this?

a bit down at heel, cos they weren't a "loved" car when new, but still a nice,solid car that was in use every day?

this one is like that.  it sounds like a nice old thing.

i have the feeling that this must belong to someone on here.

1976 Austin Allegro 1300.  Very solid & drives well. For Sale (picture 1 of 6)

Reminds me, I was out for a drive on Sunday afternoon and an aquamarine '55 burbled past, driven by a Richard Branson lookalike.  Made me smile.

Ever been to a wedding?

Turn up to collect the Bride or her mother in that and I think the wedding might be off...?

I rest my case. I'm off to make a coffee and calm down.

Just the thing for the London ULEZ.

Big - Dirty - Diesel - Annoying - Exempt! I'm on the hunt now for something horrible to run round  London in and rev the nuts off outside City Hall creating a cloud of fumes. 

But seriously folks looks a nice project. Tax Mot Exempt and might drive ok..might...that diesel may top out at 3000 rpm.

Last on the road about 1985 according to the DVLA - difficult to establish the provenance of this kind of bag of bits when it comes to Coopers*? Presumably the records still exist? Who would want the wheels to come off their antique roadtrip??

*my legal department has agreed this wording - particularly the term 'difficult'

Interesting additional point - Charlie Ross  (L) went to the same school as me...

DAMM that is flipping fantastic and shit at the same time.   I'd like to own that and swap the block for a 3.2 out of an omega.

I noticed it's been off the road for 7 years and is basically fucked

Fancy an XJR cheap?  Only problem is, it needs dragging back from France

Loads of other tat in the sale too.  Anybody brave enough to take on a 1968 Berliet PCM-RE double deck bus?

Someone spotted this over the weekend and posted it on @trigger's excellent East Coast Retros facebook page - and it really piqued my interest.  It's for sale 3 miles from my parents, it's a local Ipswich car with HDX suffix to match my Mini.  My parents nearly always had a japanese car on fleet, and we were regulars at Carrs Honda in Ipswich - trudging around the forecourt once a month to see what had arrived.  In fact, my parents had an earlier bronze Civic.

Two owners.  23,000 on the clock.  

I got bored waiting for my Dad to go and speak to the garage owner - so called him up.  Today.  We know the proprietor, he used to service and look after my Nan's Mini back in the 80s.  He wants £2495 for it which, on balance, is probably about right.  

I'd dearly love to buy it but it's about £500 more than I'm comfortable paying for it and I don't need 1 car at the moment - never mind 7.

I imagine he only gave the old girl a few hundred quid for it as "it's an old car love" which is a further frustration, but I never resent someone earning a living.  I just wish they'd not to it at my expense sometimes!!!

Anyway - if anyone's serious (he'll not welcome being fucked about) then it's at Brands Garage in Trimley.
