"Can we do an Austin Allegro video?" asked Claire.....

Join us as we chaotically show you our own fleet of unusual Austin Allegros. People often criticise the Austin Allegro, going so far as to call it the 'worst' car ever made. We at UK Barn Finds couldn't disagree more; we think the Austin Allegro is a brilliant car and huge fun to own.

We showcase three of British Leyland's finest, tell you a bit about them and try to get some of them started and moved. Amongst the long list of calamities is a stuck clutch, leaking fluids and a damaged wheel arch. If that wasn't enough, Elton gets repetitive strain injury from the hydrolastic pump and Claire is exasperated by his pointblank refusal to read the instructions. Again.
