Description
With a heavy heart I'm selling Albert my 1977 Austin allegro. He's an early series 2 model 1100 cc 2 door in antique gold with brown interior and has just over 42, 000 miles on the clock Albert is what I would call a great project car he's all up and running with a very sweet engine and is all there and complete and until recently he was used on a regular basis and went to quite a few car shows where he always attracted attention because of his honest condition like how you would have seen an allegro in the 80s on the street.
Since buying him I've had lots spent including the Hydrogas spheres replaced by the great Hydrogas services ltd, 4 new tyres, clutch slave cylinder, new battery etc etc. He comes with handbook, service book with all the history up to 29, 000 some of it hand written in the back of the service book, bills brochure workshop manual some old Mots and other bits.
The car does need some more work now and I've lost my garage hence the sale, work needed includes new exhaust, steering rack needs replacing as there is slight play and noise but I have one to go with the car, cooling fan has stopped working but have a replacement to to go with it.
Structualy the car is very good but it has had the usual allegro problem of a boot leak so the boot where it joins the rear valance needs welding I haven't got the expertise or I would have done this. Cosmetically you could leave him as is if you wanted , most seem to like the look of him, if not though there are dings and dent on the bodywork with some on the roof too, it's part of its history which I was given by the last owner.
So there we have it Albert is an iconic 70s car that needs a loving new home if you want to know more please call me
