But I already have 7 in total. In my defence all bar one has a home or earmarked for one.

I think he may be right about the auto box, my uncle had about four replacements in his manual version.
That is ugly that I kins of like it. Not as much as that Humber in the background so thought.

No. Just no
What sort of mad world is it where a "shoot brown" allegro is worth more than this?
Joking aside I always liked the allegro but there are a lot of other things that I would buy if I had a spare 3 grand or so

The Healy is just brilliant.
I shouldn't like the Allegro,but there is something about it.
A kind of "back to basics" thing .

The seventies "coke bottle" styling. Remember it well.
It's hardly unmolested. It's got Rostyle wheels and a nasty pop-up sunroof. It would be quite difficult to find the original spec wheels and trims but not as difficult as deleting the sunroof.
Also, the offset is all wrong on the Rostyles. The wheel bearings and suspension components, which were never known for their strength at the best of times, will be loving that. Allegro wheels had nearly all of the rim inboard of the hub flange, as on this example. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Austin-Allegro-L-1981/311684465767
