Information from Corgi Vanguards VA04513 1:43 diecast model - "Production of the Allegro’s 1300cc engine was reduced due to preparations for the forthcoming Metro during 1978 so BL created the Special LE to maintain production levels. Priced at only £2,965.95 to tempt buyers away from the 1300, it offered a 5-speed gearbox, Sundym tinted-glass, passenger-door-mirror, lockable fuel-cap, fog-lamps, tachometer and a leather steering wheel. Launched on 5 April 1978 and publicised as ‘The Allegro of a Lifetime’ just two metallic colours were offered; Tara Green and Astral Blue". DVLA details for ALC 146S are: Date of Liability 01 07 1987 Date of First Registration 03 05 1978 Year of Manufacture 1978 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1485cc CO₂ Emissions Not Available Fuel Type PETROL Export Marker N Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour GREEN Vehicle Type Approval Not Available |

Tara green is the original colour name for this Allegro. |

any better pic of the VW Golf I, especially of the back panel. As chrome door handles (if not replaced by the owner), it can be a very early one. |

Seems the Allegro Special LE was only made at Seneffe in Belgium. Many late 70s Allegros and other Longbridge stuff for UK (eg even some Maxis) were Seneffe-made with RHD, while many were still made at Longbridge - apparently if the VIN plate starts with a B it was made in Belgium. |
