Saw 1998 corolla and immediately thought of this:
Unfortunately it wasn't quite as sporty but does look remarkably clean, I suspect it is one of those cars that will live forever.

Sometimes, back when a certain car was a fairly common sight on the roads of this fair isle, you would'nt have given them a second glance.
Now, when you see one of those cars today, you suddenly realise just what a handsome machine they were.

Mazda made a GT, not a GTI and I'm fairly sure that is a stick on Halfords badge.
They did a normal 2.0 GLX (107hp), a more powerful GT (with a "raunchy" 144hp) plus a 4WS version.
The Allegro VDP had always been an absolutely horrible almost comedy type of car (and I’m not into BL bashing)… but I haven’t seen one for a while and suddenly this unusual metallic blue one in a decent ad with nice photos actually looks pretty good. No idea of values for these but doesn’t seem like a bend over job compared to many classics.
Yeah, I like it

Looks ideal for carrying my mountain bike to the trails, or even to have some fun on some of them green lanes.

Never really liked Allegros though I recall the 1750HL put in good performance figures. That said, as a young man with a rusty Austin A40 which had real character and decent ability +better than a Stranglia), there was something very alluring about a "mini-Roller" with nice seats, wood veneer picnic tables and no rust.
The 1500 E-series was probably OK but an A-Plus engined version would not have gone amiss.

Emphasis on easy - unbolt old engine and bolt in new.

Out of bored curiosity - what is the most powerful lump you could easily drop into this Allegro?

The1750cc HL/Sport had 90hp using twin carbs.Emphasis on easy - unbolt old engine and bolt in new.
The engine was developed I to the R and S series using a VW gearbox, in the Maestro which is presumably bigger under the bonnet.

This old thread https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&... suggests a Montego Turbo engine would be an interesting start point - uses the same mounts.
