OXFORD DIECAST - The car that did more to destroy the Austin brand than any other, we have the Allegro estate.

My first post was the ADO16, Austin 1300, this car was the replacement for that the Austin Allegro, available in two door, four door and estate two door, it gained a dire reputation, being dubbed All Agro by many, due to its awful reliability record, and it's ability to rust very badly.

Oxford Diecast has decided to model the estate, which is great, the estate is a very underrated car, huge space and it really was not a bad car, just poorly executed, Vanguards by Corgi has made a saloon version, but as yet not many have replicated the bigger load lugger, and in harvest gold, this model stands out.

Again, the tyre size is my only niggle, they seem rather too big for the model, but that does not take away the fact that OD has given us another stunning 1/76 model, and one that I, for one, will collect every variation and colour scheme they make available.
