1975 Austin 1500 vanden Plas auto allegro For Sale

I recently bought this for an old friend who wanted an automatic but it needs more work than he can do at 81years old. It’s a very solid car. Ideally would need outer sills. The floors wings etc are very solid. Interior has nice leather seats, good carpets and door panels. The headlining needs replacing.

Paint work is not great. The back end and roof would polish up well. The bonnet and front wings won’t.

It runs and drives nicely if forward gears. The water pump is noisy. Unfortunately it won’t really go into reverse. It will try and if you are on a slight down hill it will go backwards. Just about moves on the flat but won’t budge if you are going uphill backwards. This is the reason why it’s for sale as my friend does not want to sort out the gearbox. The rest of the car would be an easy light restoration or patch the sills and Amelia good driver.
