Ah, all is clear now. No I wouldn't know him, although it was a club member who picked the machine up from me all those years ago so it might have been him for all I know? A much maligned vehicle is the Allegro but I really rather like them. I only ever owned that one, although my older boy had one, a 1300, which he learned to drive in and then went around in until one day a very elderly gentleman reversed his posh large BMW out of his driveway right in front of him when he was doing 30mph. My boy T Boned it quite dramatically. Luckily the elderly gent completely admitted liability so there were no repercussions on my boy, but the damage was extensive so the "Agro" was a write off. Although quite liking the cars, and how cheap they were to buy, I couldn't be described as an "enthusiast" though.Alien (punk nickname) is an old mate of mine from Leeds, now lives in your neck of the woods…he has always had allegros and is VERY well known in allegro circles…I think he’s still got a pre-production estate…anyhows, his dual personality is known to those in the know
Edit. If I remember correctly the chap who came for the machine had come across from somewhere North West of the City, maybe even Fife?
