Classic Austin Allegro estate.
Not one but two Allegros in this photo. Nearest is an estate version and alongside the more usual saloon. Aggro estates are getting quite rare and I don't remember that last time I saw one in regular use around here. When I was a nipper I remember my pal's mum had a bright orange estate with the brushed nylon seat upholstery - very seventies.
Austin Books Whether for the Allegro estate as shown below, or any other type of Austin, it is worth having a look on Amazon for books, DVDs, Videos etc.

Allegro estate on display at Tatton Park, Cheshire.
If you have any more info or restoration stories about this particular Allegro estate, or Allegro estates in general, I'd really like to feature it on oldclassiccar.
I took all these photos at the classic & vintage show held at Tatton Park, in June 2005. The Austin shown above was one of several hundred vehicles held in the grounds of this National Trust property.
