As with any car of age it seems these days they are "increasing in value"/future classic.

So I present to you the Austin Allegro Venden plas a car which came ins lovely pallet had the key ingredient chrome grill rear trays a la aeroplane and champagne flute holders.

Surely someone might turn one into the ultimate sleeper - slipping in a SL63 bi turbo v12 600bhp monster to it with side exhausts.

I give you the Allegro Equipe 0-70 10 seconds sports graphics and twin carb!

0-70 in 10 seconds is for the time respectable - on par with a Maestro GTI or 205 GTI

But to have 50% of all cars reach end of life together seems unusual.
Unless of course Austin where ahead of the curve and built in obsellesance
