Description
ADO67 the Austin Allegro was designed a replacement for the 1100/1300 range. Despite a fanfare from BL when it was launched, the “new driving force from Austin” quickly developed a poor reputation and was much maligned by the motoring press. Despite these setbacks it was surprisingly advanced and also sold well - 620,000 were built during its nine year run.
This car is a 1974 Austin Allegro 1500 in Harvest Gold with all of the desirable early features including the famous quartic steering wheel. It has covered just 30,000 miles from new supported by a complete set of old MOT certificates. Forming part of a private collection for several years and having been used sparingly for all of its life, this car remains in beautiful condition. It has been thoroughly cavity waxed and Ziebarted from new. In the last 2000 miles it has had a new clutch and engine service and has recently had a fresh MOT. As you would expect at this mileage, this Allegro runs and drives perfectly.
The website “how many left” shows just a handful of 1500cc versions remain but none from 1974. While this may well be a DVLA error it is an interesting thought that this may well be the only series one 1500 extant.
Comes with a history file, various bills, old MOT’s, new and old V5 documents and original sales brochure.
Viewing near Woburn, Beds.
