AUSTIN ALLEGRO OWNERS

Randyleprechaun

Hi,

just wondering if any Austin Allegro owners out there would be interested in organising a meeting to show and display the cars somewhere central to all.

Or if any other Austin owners are interested also, please reply or PM me. i am willing to do the organising etc etc.

Would be nice to see a few Allegros in the one place in Ireland, not sure how many are owned in ireland but heres putting the call out.

Thanks

Grand looking car, but I'd loose the AUSTIN letters on the bonnet.

I was gonna say they were original,but when i looked again they look like halfords stick on lettering?

kasper

there was an allegro for sale not so long ago same colour but it had a sun roof

Randyleprechaun

I'd say I have the car about a year. The letters on the bonnet don't really bother me alhough I'd prefer if they weren't there too. Suppose I could get them off using a heat gun, but then you'd notice how the paint will be a slightly different shade where they were!!!!!!!(At least that's what happened when I removed the GB of the back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

i've seen a few others with the lettering the very same, on a few Allegros and a few Maxis.

The blue one with the sun roof is on donedeal I think. looks like it needs tidying though.

Looks like I'm the only Allegro owner in Ireland willing to be seen in public with one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kasper

uncle of mine used have a brown coloured one named coco i dont know who has it now ,i have an autumn gold (green ) maxi myself ,it isnt in as good condition as your allegro

Randyleprechaun

Nice cars too the Maxi, like a big brother of the Allegro, what engine has she and what trim level.

kasper

just the basic trim level ,1750cc single su carb ,1975 on zvs

What sort of condition is it in, can you find out anymore info on it or whether its for sale or not

Thanks

This thread has lost its way.

Are there any Allegro owners out there or any other BL/BMC owners wanting to round up the cars for a meeting

No problem, a lad I work with is a good friend of the garage owner, and to get the thread back on track, heres a VdP Allegro on donedeal

Good luck with this, but I'm not sure if you're going to find a lot of Allegros out there.

This is a rare Six!

Not sure how many are still in Ireland, but less than 100 left in mainland UK.
