Not quite - Allegro:Anoraky footnote/question - didn't Rover then use the square wheel on the SD1??
:rofl:I wasn't familiar with the car but just searched for a pic....and you're right.It cools itself by way of a fadge-shaped air intake. Pure motoring comedy.The Edsel is known to this day as "The Car With The C**t at The Front" thanks to its vag-shaped rad - curious that fact was omitted...The Allegro was a reclothed Morris 1100 - nothing more; there was no "body shape... changed to accommodate the archaic engines". Beobloke's right the SD1 used a squared-off steering wheel too, as did the Austin Ambassador...
and the Alfa Romeo "Arna" was top-to-bottom a Nissan Cherry but built in Italy with all the concommitant "advantages" that bestows on a car's durability...
Very true - I suspect it might have worked better if they had gone for Italian styling and Japanese engineering rather than the other way round!!and the Alfa Romeo "Arna" was top-to-bottom a Nissan Cherry but built in Italy with all the concommitant "advantages" that bestows on a car's durability...
Absolutely stunning!
Ah! An Allegrot Van den Spaz in gorgeous "Chest Infection Green" - my all-time favourite ur-colour! Also available in "Roadkill Purple" and ""Chiken Tikka Vomit Orange"...
Oooooooooh they don't make 'em like that any more, do they lads?
