    If you are not already thinking about this, you should, both the mini and Alegro have 1275 A series engines albeit with slight differences depending if the mini is an ‘A+’ or ‘A’, the allegro will most likely have a milder cam than the later A+ mini engine (most likely sources from a metro) swap the supercharged 1275 mini engine over and fit to the Allegro, while you are there fit some 1.5 roller rockers as that will add extra valve lift and some more Hp for not much, good idea to put a fresh head gasket on it while doing that, and ensure it has a spacer plate fitted to lower the compression ratio. Make sure the fuel pump is swapped over too. If you can find a ported 1275 head that will make it much better!

    Guy's Love the channel, but Shedfest today was a nightmare. I like many drove a long way to see you all and was presented with a nightmare. I manged a whole hour in the venue after a 2 hour drive and a 3 hour queue, many others turned round and went home. Mallory Park were unable to cope with everything and everybody. Concession stand queues where ridiculously long, toilet queues where the same. An apology and ticket refund would be a decent gesture. Sorry lads a lot of us feel quite let down at the moment and some sort of proper apology post might help keep us watching.

    There’s a number of comments suggesting putting the Mini engine + supercharger in the Allegro. STOP!!! The Mini is a 998 and the Allegro is a 1275. Far better and easier to whip the supercharger off and bolt it to the Allegro! The allegro is 53 BHP (stock), so you’ll end up with around 100 BHP. You’ll L need the modified timing cover (minus breather) off the Mini engine and a second or thicker head gasket (decompression plate). Other option would be to enlarge the chambers in the head.

    Every time I see an Allegro I always feel bad for Harris Mann (the guy that designed it) as his original drawings and models looked great. Then BL made the whole car taller and rounder so they could fit a larger (and taller) engine. Completely ruining all his efforts to make a good looking small car. That said I think they are a bit over hated, badly made but for a small car they rode well and the old A-Series is a tough old lump! I look forward to seeing this disaster again!

    Exactly. The Allegro suffered from the same issue the XJ220 did: they promised something cool but under delivered by a big margin. The 220 was still a proper beast but the Allegro had no hope of recovering. Ignore what it could have been and it's actually perfectly fine for the era.

    Haha, mai gawd, standard rust on a Mini, sills (inner and outer), doorsteps, floor pans, toe boards, heel boards, a-panels and valance. Luckily, you can get a complete prebuilt floor sections - saves a lot of time. Probably rust around the scuttle, lower rear quarters and front wings too. You can buy a complete shell from Heritage or panels - to suit your budget. Be good to remove the patchwork quilt repairs it had, never understood why people will do 3,4 -8 repairs on a panel when one slightly larger one would do it. Oil leak will be gear selector shaft seal - its a given, rocker cover and maybe the upper rear plates. Sometimes the mechanical fuel pump can leak. You could learn to weld, it would open up your project builds massively! Learning on a Mini is ideal. Check out BOM - Project Binky and also Urchfab - Mongrel build - for welding pr0n. Then you can avoid getting worried about rust and rot. "A grinder and paint - makes me the welder I ain't" is a great saying. Be interesting to see how many repairs over repairs the Mini has - most people are too dumb to cut the rot out first, then wonder why it rotted away again in 18months. You might be suprised and find they cut the rot out first - rare on a car with underseal used to hide rot. I'm keen to see - I love judging the bodges people do on cars - so I can question their family lineage. As for the all-agro - check out RetroPerformance - they are doing two spicey ones - their workmanship is top shelf. Superb entertainment as always fellas, looking forwards to this series.

    That's a classic example of someone putting oversills on and not treating the rust underneath, it just silently rots the floor out of sight. My Mini is nowhere near that bad (is road legal and young enough to still need an MOT) and I've had quotes of £13-15k just to de-rust and paint the shell! That Mini needs a lot of work to be safe, that shell is almost as bad despite appearances as the firewall is rotten. Sell the Mini on Taylor (it's worth around £1500 for the engine and drivetrain) and take the Allegro.

    I'll admit Andy was a really good swindler! He even started showing more corroded areas since he knew the deal was closed. Aside from the frame swap idea (if you are even able to find a clean Mini shell without rust), the other option is to sell it as parts, I'm sure you will be able to gather together at least £2000 from all the parts that aren't rusty.
