Austin Allegro - now there's a blast from the past! I thought they all turned to little heaps of rusty bits years ago

Has yours got the "quartic" steering wheel?

I noted this ad had referred to a nut & bolt restoration - I think that must be someone's assumption. Having seen this car a number of times at VOC gatherings, it really is just down to a labour of love and minute attention to detail on Jeff's part.

I hope it finds the loving home it deserves.
