The front-wheel drive Allegro was British Leyland's replacement for the Issigonis-designed 1100 and 1300 and featured an evolution of the suspension developed for that car. Available as a two- or four-door Saloon and three-door Estate, it was powered by a range of the company's A- and E-Series engines ranging from 1100cc to 1750cc. A Mk2 version was readied in time for the 1975 London Motorshow, which brought a welcome selection of improvements and upgrades. The so-called S3 1500 was in production from 1979 to 1982. Available in four-door form only, it was powered by a 1485cc engine of 68bhp mated to either a five-speed manual gearbox or four-speed automatic transmission.

Finished in BL’s iconic Russet Brown, what else? This Allegro, displays just 46,788 miles and shows 4 former keepers on HPI. A later series of Allegro – the ‘Allegro 3’, as with the trend of the day, now devoid of chrome and featuring a plethora of the ‘more modern’ Black plastic trim. Offered from long-term ownership of 30 years, this presents as a very original example, indeed, complete with its wheel trims and period-style number plates. Being an ‘L’ spec car, you didn’t get the headrests in 1981. There is a current V5C document on file, an owner’s handbook and a few old MOT certificates.
