WALES RALLY GB POWERS AHEAD WITH SHELL
8 Aug, 2015
I had allegro the wheel fell off. The engine fell out. The gas suspension
collapsed and it didn’t have a floor in the front. but it was my first car
and I loved it it was great.
Haha the Allegro…or “All-Aggro” as many called it :D
I own an allegro estate, I’ve also owned a Lada in the past. Believe me the
Allegro is the better car. By a huge margin. To Drive, the allegro is
pretty much like a bigger metro.
no wonder the guy messed himself up in the shed. oh the shame
“Can we try the blue one” lol
Oh dear, hydro-spastic suspension! Thats why all allegro’s leaned to one
side!
I don’t know anything about the Allegro but I just wish BL had just put a
little more imagination into its design.
I had FOX 886L it was one of BLs promo cars,and i catch a glimps on various
old videos,it was photographed in the front of Haynes workshop manual,it to
me down to st tropez camping and back and went fine,but then it had been
pulled apart and put back together at HAYNES workshops.
hahaha bl tried but failed here i had an allegro the fuel gauge diddnt work
Square Steering Wheel 🙂
Arthur fucking Fowler burning rubber…well I never….nice
Man, the monotonous voice really hypnotises you -_-;
looks like a Dover Amazon with 4 doors
These cars weren’t as bad as people make out (usually people who have never
driven one). Looks-wise it was ahead of its time.
if you jack up the rear of an Allegro the back window pops out!
My parents had one of those in turd brown.
One of the four horseless carriages of the apocalypse. Marina, Allegro,
Maxi and Princess.
Is the guy driving the actor who played Arthur Fowler in Eastenders?
Lol see him struggling with the square steering wheel at 0:28. Bet they
were pretty dangerous when needing to turn quickly
cant believe it had 5 gears!
My first car when I was at uni, fond memories, had to keep roof lining up
with a broom because when you opened the windows it ballooned down and you
couldnt see where you were going. You dont get character like that nowadays.
yep BL sold the car used in this advert and was used for 10 years!
Those cars were pure crap!!
I had two of them. A puke green,brown one and a white one. My puke
green/brown one was a great drive but the white one was nothing but
trouble. Good memories though x
Bill Treacher is a legend, They should bring him back from the dead like
they did with Den
