PROJECT SPARKY - RARE 1970S AUSTIN ALLEGRO REVIVAL - PART TWO!

After through the boot and finding nappies in the last video, I bring you an update on what state my rare, #1970s #Austinallegro #project is in. Are there any signs of life, or is it game over?...

My mum had a 1982 Allegro 3 from new, she ran it until about 1992 when she got a Sierra and it went to my brother, then my sister had it before it was eventually sold. It died sometime in in the 00's when it was involved in a minor accident and the insurance company wrote it off. I drove it for a week once when my car was being repaired, tbh it was a bit of fun at first but I was pleased when I got my car back.

If anyone can save Sparky you can Alex! Hopefully if you can find someone to repair the holes, definitely worth saving, or passing on to someone who wants to restore Sparky.

Rheingold together with Sorrel brown interior? Nice!

[@deviatefishy]

it does run, but the aftermarket ankle vents might be an issue.

[@simon.easton]

Looks like you could have done with an extra pair of hands there. Please don't give up!

[@lordstiffupperlip3095]

Hello Alex , Are you sure its stuck in gear ? , I've seen cars on ramps with the wheels turning slowly like on MOT's before and they weren't in gear .

[@AllThingsAlex]

Yes, sadly looks like a gear box issue. I explain more in the next video.

You're hand looking abit shaky, were you afraid of sparks/shocks?
