There's a blast from the past! The streets were crawling with these when I was a young 'un.

Starting to feel old....oooh errr, missus!

Welcome aboard!

Nice Motor I had 2 manual versions and did thousands of miles in them. How ever did BL morph this great motor into the Allegro? Someone somewhere needed his head examined!!!!

that looks like a great example john70! when I was a nipper, a neighbour had a Mk2 Austin 1100 or 1300 in that colour, and I think it was an automatic too. I always remember it being in immaculate condition

Thanks Rick. It is in nice nick, had very little done to it bodily or mechanicaly, free tax of course very cheap to insure, £80 fully comp. so its a cheap motor to keep in the garage for when needed if the missus is out in our day to day car, and its nice to take out for a run now and again, or to a show.

Yes, it's weird, you only occasionally see an 1100/1300 these days but they were very good cars. My wife had several of them. Your's certainly looks to have survived very well.
