Sorry.. typo.. that should read 55.3 BHP.. and I believe that is a wind assisted figure 
I appreciate that my choice of such a top-of-the-range prestige motor may cause the green eyed monster to rise in some of you... But if you work hard and apply yourself.. you too can aspire to luxury cars such as this.
We are already developing a range of tuning items. You can already see the prototype "Zimmerstorm" peeking out from under the Harris Mann penned lines...
The "TSL" signature tartan rug set should be signed off by 2004 and will be accompanied by a range of beige promotional sports cardigans and zip booties.
We are hoping to secure sponsorship with Stannah stairlifts for the '04 mag and show season.. so once again, although it may upset the purists.. we may have to graphic this beast to appease suppliers. A guest drive from Thora Hird has not been ruled out....
ahhh.. the things i do to keep the salt off the car
Cheers

No mate
One they nicked off a large bus by the looks of it!
Certainly the British Car Industries finest hour... what a heap!!
I love this car..You can just imagine the meeting..
"Look chaps.. this All-aggro is just not selling... we need some innovative thinking to shift some units.."
"How about a Jag grille and Roller interior?"
"Thats it Carruthers!!..meeting adjourned.."
genius.. pure genius...
The automotive equivalent of a gravel drive and neo georgian facade for your mobile home!

My Dad used to have the Allegro Equipe which had the 1750 twin carb motor, that would sit at a ton all day. Well, until the wheels fell off it, anyway.
We also had a 1750 Maxi followed by a Princess. It's a wonder I have any taste in cars at all
In fact, I've just remembered, we had a Vanden Plas Princess 1300 which was the older version of that All-agro, but based on the Austin 1300.

I had a Maxi 1750HL myself. One of the best car for travelling in as it came equiped with its own double bed.Once the front seats were slid forward and the backrest lay all the way down they would but up against the front of the back seats which would in turn have their back lay flat.Smooth too

Me & my mates LOVE old motors like this - ie, not classics, and cars you hardly ever see on the roads no more....so always good for buying and running around in for a while for nostalgia reasons.
The Vanden Plas is just sheer class. What about a nice Wolsley too.
You gotta love the ones that have managed to make it past the millenium.

want one!!!!!
it's great to get the whole "old car" feel with none of the hassles.. The All-agro drives like new.. mind you with 1 previous owner and 50k on the clock with full history... It's no surprise!!
Well worth the scandalous £200 price tag

Trouser, please give us a picture of the grille. It's a styling masterpeice, how they managed to so convincingly add the prestigious VP trademark to the already visually complete Allegro is a mystery to me.
