Austin Allegro

An enthusiast's guide to this rather unusual and under-appreciated little car - the Austin Allegro. It tells the tale of grand designs, high hopes and failed dreams, national ridicule and finally, redemption. Today the Allegro is experiencing a comeback as a cheap and cheerful classic. Superbly illustrated with 170 colour photographs. Ben Wanklyn is a freelance motoring writer with a passion for unusual classic cars.
