The Austin Allegro was manufactured at Longbridge, Birmingham between 1973 and 1982, with significant revisions in late 1975 and late 1979. available as a 2-door saloon, a 3-door estate, and as seen here a 4-door saloon. This one is in BL's Blaze red(?) with a black vinyl roof. A fine-looking combination! Registered in June 1975, this is one of the first 'series 2 ' Allegros. It is equipped with the larger 1.5L (1485cc) E-Series I4 engine, and certainly makes a statement. Pictured alongside a 1974 Austin 'series 1' Allegro - note the differing front grilles.
In late 1974 British Leyland had introduced an upmarket version of the Allegro, the
Vanden Plas 1500 - effectively the same car (and with the same 1.5L engine as fitted to this Allegro) but with an even fancier front grille and leather seats.
