Yes i am poking a little fun at the Austin Allegro. And it's amazing what messages the advertisers were using to sell the old Austin. History tells us it was dreadful and verging on a national joke, but the original Harris Mann concept was actually a great and exciting concept back in 1969. It had so much potential and some innovation and i have a guilty soft spot! http://www.aronline.co.uk/blogs/2011/07/26/concepts-and-prototypes-austin-allegro/ - the execution and build much less so....
What a hateful thing. Takes you back to the days of Red Robbo, strikes and BLs finest 70's output.
ReplyDeleteThe equipe must be proof of the old adage -you can't polish a t*rd but you can sprinkle glitter on it. Wonder how many owners got a bird like that on their bonnets?
