Good cars the old Allegros, ive always fancied getting one and keeping the body totally standard but tuning up the engine so it would be a wolf in sheeps clothin but sadly never got around to it. Allways wondered if the I could have put in a 1750 cc Maxi engine running twin webers off a MG Maestro R series engine as both seem to be same design so just swap over the carbs / cylinder head.
Has anybody ever tried this?

I don't think the Allegro is even that ugly

They may not be a 'perfect' car, but the Allegro has character and personality. If you want reliability and practicality, then it often comes with blandness and anonimity (Toyota Corolla anyone?)

I've just bought one and it's brilliant fun. Not many cars are still going strong after 35 years. 40 to the gallon. No road tax. The Austin Allegro is the way forward!

I never understood why there's so much focus on the Allegro's alleged ugliness. Sure, it's not a major beauty, and from certain angles it's less than aesthetically pleasing (I understand that the original design concept was compromised quite a bit).
But you could say that about a lot of cars from the same era, and at least the Allegro has personality. It's far from the ugliest of them, and it's certainly not the blandest.
