My sister had the estate version, it was a very capable and reliable vehicle in the time she had it, early 80s.
It was a lovely ride but a disaster, handling wise, when pushed at anything above sedate.
The suspension system was sorted by the Rover 100 and MGF, so far too late to save the allagro. Did read about the suspension set up and issues, but can't remember it all. Still fascinated by Alex Moulton, and his little wheel bike, and his ideas about suspension.
