1974 Austin Allegro 1100 deluxe. MOT June 2018. SOLD

1974 Austin Allegro 1100 deluxe 2 door. MOT 25th June 2018. Tax exempt.

A very early example of the most basic launch specification Allegro, registered February 1974, although the original owner did pay extra for the Lagoon metallic paint! And being an early model it of course has the infamous Quartic steering wheel.

Owned since 2009, but off road from 2011 until earlier this year when it was recommissioned. It had welding to the front panel in 2009, and to the front floorpans this year. It’s now solid and presentable but cosmetically far from perfect. There’s more than one shade of Lagoon (in particular the driver’s door is slightly paler than the rest of the car), scratches to both rear quarter panels and a few other areas have been touched up with an aerosol.

Engine, gearbox and clutch are good and tyres excellent. Chrome is very good. Brakes work as well as un-servoed Allegro brakes ever do. Seats are good and the original rubber floor matting fair – no carpets in a deluxe!

There are a few clunks from the front suspension but nothing to stop it being used as is. The fuel gauge is inoperative but it comes with almost a full tank of fuel (honestly).

To sum up, a solid usable example of an early Allegro in a striking colour but with scope for improvement. Great support is available from a friendly and enthusiastic owner’s club.
