And a Rover badge....:devil:
This was parked next to the car park we met up in at Woodstock, on Monday. It's the only model of Rover I've really ever lusted after....
I think the P5B is my favourite, the Queen has one you know
... What did I start?
I've already stated my fondness for the Allegro in brown with beige interior. I'll take the estate version with the swooping rear glass.
Excuse me while I go to Auto****e and indulge myself in BL fantasy

The worst possibly car in the worst possible colour, yet somehow..........must be an age thing
No, I don't think I could ever own an Allegro. I do have a hankering for a Princess though, but I think I've been watching too much Terry & June......

I know I have made comments on Rovers and Minis but aren't we forgetting this is a FIAT forum.
And we really do have to fix them again tomorrow, as there aren't any Rovers left to repair..

OMG Terry and June, now we are showing our age lol
The princess was actually a very good car; while the Aggro was almost not as bad as they were made out to be.
Off subject perhaps but 2 quick Allegro anecdotes;
The police used to like using them as stake out undercover vehicles as no one took any notice of an Allegro with it's bonnet uo.!
Allegedly on the very first models, if you used the OE jack to remove a back wheel then the rear window would pop out.
Makes you proud dunnit.......................

I was given an Allegro as my Company car in 1975. It was white and very nippy. I liked it .
I remember buying my mates Marina for £50 as my first car and for the few days before the starter motor attached to the bell housing (aluminium) snapped off and wasn't repairable (I think this is what happened, long time ago) it was really nippy as well. I think my perception of nippy is different now as I am sure my Cento would have left it standing
Loads left to repair and yes your right it is a Fiat forum and we are not allowed to wander off subject are we
I must admit though and I will only say this once in a whisper. I recently picked up a brochure for the new Panda in Glynn Hopkin (who now do lots of other cars from the small Fiat showroom in Chadwell Heath) and it was certainly very practical (nice boot size, height, layout inside) and not as ugly as the ones you lot lust after. To be honest if I came across a new 4x4 on a good deal I might just be tempted and the trekking is quite tasty. But I never said that right
I had a bright blue Ital estate, 20-odd years ago... -- and the only thing that ever went wrong was the rear wiper motor. Extremely reliable; great fun to drive; and just the cavernous boot you need with a very small child, and all their paraphernalia. Not even any rust...! (Obviously, therefore, not built on a Friday....)

So just how many small children could you get in the boot then.....?

Just how many cars do you have Homey?
One was (more than) enough...!
I do have a photo, somewhere, of him, probably aged around a year old, sat in the boot of the Ital, eating his lunch, propped up on some cushions, whilst his mother and I had to do with deckchairs.... Ah. Happy Days...!

This is pretty ON topic for this section - we've even mentioned Panda's a few times!
The new Panda is definitely a very impressive car. Mum's got the new 4x4 and so far definitely so good
What sort of deal would you need on a new 4x4 or trekking - 14% any good? :idea:
