{"product_id":"austin-allegro-isbn-9781847976765","title":"Austin Allegro","description":"The stylist of the Austin Allegro, Harris Mann, said of the car that 'It took a lot of stick, but it wasn't that bad a car ... The trouble was that every one off the line was different in some way, thanks to quality control.'  As a result, few have bothered to explore the little Austin's background; what it was designed to achieve, how it became the way it was, and what happened to make it so infamous.  Austin Allegro - An Enthusiast's Guide redresses the balance, telling the Allegro's tale of grand designs, high hopes, management compromises, failed dreams, industrial unrest, national ridicule and finally, redemption.  Now experiencing something of a comeback as a cheap and cheerful classic, the book provides ownership advice and buying information for all models. From the quietly competent series 2 models through to the sportily-styled and now very rare Equipe, the book re-evaluates the place of the Allegro in the classic car world and concludes that it is both a simple, economical classic choice, and an important part of British motoring history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The Crowood Press UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44897082310885,"sku":"NP9781847976765","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/3999edea-3495-44e8-a9d5-ab0200c39d69.jpg?v=1767829099","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/austin-allegro-isbn-9781847976765","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
