@AdamAus85 It's not THAT bad to look at really, is it? The later (series 3) ones were apparently decent cars, but I suppose the TG masses will never be able to accept that of the Allegro name.
-
The Allegro looks exactly like an Austin Princess.
-
The Alegro thing looks okay.

"I like princesses!" :D

Well I had the 'pleasure' of learning to drive in a 1981 poo brown Morris Ital 1.3L, the facelifted Marina for 80s! haha. It was my mother's car and I never felt safe in it. The suspension felt it belonged to a smaller car, the clutch was sensitive and the acceleration non-existent and the seats were cheap and uncomfortable. After 10 minutes I couldn't wait to get out of it. It was replaced with a 1983 Opel Rekord 2.0ltr, now that was plush!

@LochlanachViking It was the same in the UK with,French,Italian and Japanese cars where these cars were called either "Rust Buckets" or "Jap Crap" or sometimes a combination to produce things such as " Italian rust bucket" or "crap French rust buckets" ect.

I always liked the Allegro, rented one for a week and thought it was the oddest car I'd ever driven, weird exterior colour too, but it grew on me. I like it
-

The main problem with the design of British cars in the early 70's was that the companies producing them had to face the prospect of a diminishing market. Look at any photos up to 1972 and you'll see hardly any 'foreign' cars. The opening of the EEC and the derestriction of import quotas meant that suddenly there were these advanced offerings from abroad. Peoples' mindsets shifted very quickly, and within 10 years the British car industry had imploded. Personally I prefer Marinas to Allegros.
