Austin - Austin Allegro
The Austin Allegro was available from 1973 in three model types, namely the Allegro 1100, the Allegro 1300 (which inherited their pushrod engines from the Austin 1100 and 1300 models), and the Allegro 1500 which had the overhead camshaft E Series engine that was being used in the Mk2 Maxi. By 1974 the 1750HL had twin carburettors producing 90bhp. With bodywork designed by Harris Mann, and altered before it made it to production, the Allegro was never as successful as the Austin 1100 model it took over from, for many reasons, one of which was that it cost so much more.
Tyre size for the Austin Allegro was originally 145R13, and Blockley produces a superb steel belt construction 145R13 tyre. See details of this superb 145R13 Allegro tyre at the link below. We also list the 155R13 that we know was used on the 1750 models, as well as a wider version of the 155R13 which is the 175/70R13 tyre size for those that want something a little different. See full details of all these tyres at the links below:
