On the Surface:

This Austin Allegro presents in charming original condition, with minor rusty patches evident beneath the front windscreen. The interior remains in remarkable “as new” condition, a rare find for a car of this age. Underneath, the car is notably solid, reflecting careful upkeep over the years.

Maintenance:

Mechanically refreshed, this Allegro benefits from a rebuilt carburetor, brand new ignition system, and a completely overhauled cooling system. The fuel tank has been recored, the clutch master cylinder rebuilt, and a new alternator fitted. The Hydragas suspension has also been re-gassed, ensuring a smooth and confident ride.

History:

A true low-ownership example, the car has had just two owners from new. The first owner cherished it for over forty years, highlighting its careful long-term stewardship and gentle use throughout its life.

The Model:

The Austin Allegro, launched in the 1970s, is a British motoring icon known for its distinctive styling and practical engineering. Once a familiar sight on UK roads, surviving examples in this condition are increasingly rare and sought-after among enthusiasts.

Sale Insight:

This Allegro represents a superb opportunity to acquire a well-maintained, largely original example with strong provenance. With recent mechanical investment and an outstanding interior, it’s ready to enjoy as-is or lightly restore for show-level presentation. An ideal classic for the discerning collector or enthusiast looking for a usable and characterful piece of British motoring history.
