Great video Tom keep it up ! 😊 I think you should call the Allegero Custard cream !!😅😂 Also I can sort the headlights out on the Jazz mate. Don’t use that liquid stuff you mentioned it’s a waste of time. They just need a buff with a machine polisher. Which I can do. 🙌
HEATED ACREEN?I'm presuming you mean HOT AIR, rather than wires between the glass, like on rear windows? Thanks for reviewing the Allegro, I still miss mine, 20 years after selling it to buy a big estate car I needed.
@thtmotoring Wow! If only MY Allegro had had a HEATED windscreen - I mihjt not have had a minor accident! I was coming home from work, trying NOT to drop off to sleep. It was so HOT in the car, because I had to have the heater blowing on the windscreen full blast - in the vain hope that it might stop it misting up. But the problem was that the AIR that the heater was sucking into the car, was so DAMP, because of the continous rain that day, so I was fighting a losing battle! I nearly nodded off TWICE, but hoped I'd get home okay, since I was just a mile away. BUT I got hot one time too many, and, with a BUMP -mounted the kerb, woke up, and quickly brought the car to a stop!
Silver cars do respond well to a deep clean and polish ! Why not buy the little silver Rover Metro 100 from Project Nigel if you are going to see Allegroman ?
@@johnmoruzzi7236 I have thought about that, do like that little Metro. I’m considering ZR, ZS and 45. Would like to tour some nice driving roads in the UK in something fun but also relatively refined on the journey
@thtmotoring although my beloved Allegro was one of the later Mk 3's, only the VERY late cars (up to 1300cc) , got the reworked A - PLUS engines. That would have made a vast difference, and transformed the car! My mother had the 1300 engine in her MARINA, and it got replaced with the facelifted, renamed ITAL model. THAT had the reworked A - PLUS 1300 engine, What a difference! Smooth and quiet!
I MEANT heated SCREEN, not acreen!

@@CarzwithJC_ haha well you can call it that but I don’t name cars 😂oh thanks mate!
10:09 Owatrol will only fill the surface roughness. Better getting one of the headlight polishing kits and doing it properly.
@@SmashingPistons thank you!

@@nygelmiller5293 there are wires there on the window so assuming it works that way. No problem!

@@thtmotoring I'm sure Allegroman could sort out PN's dented otherwise nice green Rover 25...
@@johnmoruzzi7236 I’ve driven Nigel before and to be honest it didn’t feel too different to my Jazz. Might consider a 25 GTI though
This Allegro looks in really good condition! Is it really rust-free?
@@nygelmiller5293 mostly, but there is a little rot on a couple of the doors and boot lid which I’ll sort next year 👍
Volume on this video is too quiet - perhaps you could CHECK that on your next video.
@@nygelmiller5293 yeah, still experimenting. Might need to buy a microphone. Plus an Allegro is not the quietest car at speed!

@@nygelmiller5293 the series 3 Allegros were the best ones they made. Better screwed together, better seats and refinement
