  A Grand Monday: Austin Allegro 1.0L 16 Apr 2018 (News)
  In terms if rust resilience, it certainly fared better than most of its British Leyland contemporaries, or its other rivals for that matter, while the supple Hydragas suspension gives it a decent ride, coupled to half decent handling – it’s like a Mini that’s had one too many pies. At this price, you can try it and ultimately discover that you might like it. If you don’t, it’s worth a grand all day long. We can’t see it hanging around, which, when you consider that £650 was top money for an Allegro a decade ago, is proof that the once-ridiculed 'all-aggro' is finally catching on… Read our Austin Allegro review and buyer's guide How many Austin Allegros survived?
