Thankyou mateI couldn't agree with you more ,that is one of the main reasons i like all my cars and want to preserve the cars that once were hugely commonAlso i would love to recreate a street scene with all my cars for ashes to ashes lolIf that vp has a solid front end snap it up mate!!!a pristine one went for £2200 last year and i feel they are going up nicely in price so they are actually an investment if it is a tidy oneAlso join the Allegro club,really helpfull friendly club with a good spares service!!good luck if you buy itcheersRichie

[Richieg]

Oh look at that poor white solara ,its desperate for restoration!!

By any chance do you keep a portrait of an Allegro in the boot...?

[Justin Case]

On a technical question and to dispel or proove urban mith is it true Allegros are more airodynamic going backwards

Yes it is true and the same applies to the 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III, which has the aerodynamics of the Bank of England when proceeding in a forward direction, so Allegro owners are in good company.Great collection richie, and in really nice condition too ; have you got a pic of the Alfasud Welcome

[wuvvum]

+1 for the picture of the Sud. I love Suds - had two of them. Only had three Allegros though so you got me beat there, although one of mine was a VDP.

Aha, hello! I know you from your Datsun purchase don't I? Didn't realise you had so many other cars - very impressive!Will was impressed when he saw the 120A, sounds like you got a good buy there.

[Richieg]

Hey spotted Laurel,Yes it is i lolYeah still got the 120a coupe,she is a beauty!!I still have contact with the lady (Margaret) fairly regularly,she was such a nice lady!Actually i can't get on the Datsun site??,has it changed or something?Guys,In response to your questions . . No i don't have a portrait of an Allegro in my boot,i know i am off my head but not completely mental lolThe only car i don't have piccies of is the Alfasud,i am going to get some as she is going to up for sale soon but i need to mot her and have a few bits and pieces done before i wack her on ebaycheersRichie

Welcome and WOW!!! What a great collection of downtrodden, unloved and generally rust-prone motors!As for the picture of an Allegro in the boot of your stunning Equipe, I think he's making a reference to Dorian Grey.7 estates! 7!!!

[Milford Cubicle]

An utterly inspiring and heroic collection, good work.

[Richieg]

Thanks guys really nice of you to say!!I am not used to all this positive feedback,i am half waiting for someone to call me a WEIRDO or something lol Does anyone own a Chrysler Alpine on here out of interest?cheersRichie

[Mr Lobster]

I would have thought most of us have been told we are a bit 'wierd' in our liking of old, obscure tat at some point or other....

[Richieg]

[brammy777]

[Richieg]

Thats not a bad idea BUT . . . We are a bit skint right now,i have already worked out how to get the money but i can't say anything or i am going to get" Its ok for you to spend a couple of hundred quid on an old shit piece but we never go out!!!"You know that old chesnut . . . I have bought Citroen Bx Estate,it needs a bit of work but it is just what i want ,right colour,diesel etc etc,does need a bit of dosh spent on a big hole in the dogs leg and some mechanical work but hey ho i don't mind lolcheersRichie

Superb choice of wheels to add to the quite frankly nirvana-esque collection. nice work!Hats doffed with a very warm welcome

[Richieg]

 

Thankyou mate,i wanted an older car that has character but a little more reliable than the Allegro,the old bx fits the bill lol

cheers

Richie

[dollywobbler]

BX is a top choice. Hope it was cheap though. Mine was £266 with MOT and tax and only has a completely rotten arse. That's ok. The towbar adds some strength at the rear! Though that's rusty as well...

 

www.bxclub.co.uk is there if you need tech assistance/advice/sympathy.
