Really nice video, my grandmother had a 1300 estate for years when I was growing up. Really wanted it as my first car, but sadly it was one of those scrapped in the early 1990s. I've still got the badges my dad pulled off it before it was crushed 😢

It's marvelous how you saved this little gem.

[@DanLTjoe]

Look at you now I remember when you were 14 with your metro lol good to see you doin well & have not lost your love for Austins

[@DanLTjoe]

Haha! Ah thanks Stephen! 😘Yes you are not wrong started from a very young age all due to my dad having Rover and Austin cars whilst I was growing up for sure, definitely influenced my choice and love for these cars! 😁

The Allegro was a popular car in New Zealand until the arrival of Japanese imports local Allegro assembly was carried out by NZ motor corporation the largest engine was the 1500 although a few 1750s were privately imported from England . I learned to drive in my brothers chocolate brown LE 1300 it was a fun little beast the handling made you feel like you were driving a larger mini yes it had it's faults but what 70s car didn't

[@DanLTjoe]

Hi Mark! ☺️ I will be at POL with my Allegro featured in this video but i’m staying up in Longbridge on Friday 22nd the day before the big day on 23rd ☺️ Hopefully see you at POL? Sure you’ll find me, not many Allegro’s attend the event sadly, no idea why. Love a Metro btw! If we cant meet at POL perhaps we can meet at Magor services some other time? 👍

@@DanLTjoe ok butty, hope to see you both and covid free and safe 😍

[@nygelmiller5293]

I'm sorry to repeat to you, what I say to everyone - but Harris Mann didn't actuslly style this car. No one person did - like Alec Issigonis didn't mastermind the Morris Minor (, he only oversaw its development. Which is more than Harris Mann did - he just submitted a sketch, which was less dumpy, but less characterful, than this eventual MASTERPIECE, in my opinion! BUT the shape was taken from an earlier, exclusive sporty coupe , using parts from the Mini 1000! That was called the OGLE SX 1000. By Ogle Design. ( please look this lovely car up on the internet - there is a feature on it!)

[@SmashingPistons]

I keep getting Allegro videos in my suggestions list. Is the world trying to tell me something?

[@DanLTjoe]

@@SmashingPistons Could be telling you to ask Alex can you have a go driving Peggy her stunning Allegro SDL, its a beau and fab to drive! 😁😁

[@SmashingPistons]

@@DanLTjoe Yeah, I missed out on that last time I went down there. 👍

[@DanLTjoe]

@@SmashingPistons Always a next time 🥰❤️

Nice clear instructions for a learner, and tho' an offset square steering wheel may be a bit confusing, the Allegro is a nice little car to learn to drive in, not least because it isn't too crazy and that engine whine helps judge gearing well.
