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!
scrap the mini body and put the super charged A series in the Alegro and do like the Late Break Show is doing.

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.

Im not sure why Taylor is saying he was done. He had all time to do these checks, knew it was rusty and said himself it was cheapest in UK.
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.

Hi Taylor, there was a 1750 cc powered Allegro which you might consider or the Crayford convertible which means a lot of rear bodywork strengthening if you intend to chop the roof off. There's always the Vandan Plas with the 1500cc engine.
Mini supercharged drivetrain + Allegro + sporty upgrades = a fun project. You can then do a road trip to Ireland to see that bonkers project putting a Metro bodyshell onto a Boxster chassis.

One of my biggest scares with my Peugeot 309 Graffic when I got it was having rust like this Mini but thankfully all was ok, my own visual inspection didnt fail. Had to do some work but for a 30 something year old car wasnt bad.
Maybe put the mini drivetrain into Allegro and do some weight reduction of that's possible ig
Am I the only one who was not surprised by the actual state of it? Was extremely obvious before they even bought it that it was a complete rust pit that was painted over, stuffed up, and never once repaired properly anywhere.
I loved the old MCM series with this same supercharger setup. Glad to see these are out there.

How could you not talk about the Quantum 2+2, a crazy and super rare two car green pairing!! I am mid 30’s and have a cheap red MGb roadster, I love it!!
12:32 - That Mini S owner has one of those Kit Cars based on a Ford Fiesta! 🤔😏👍 😎🇬🇧
Supercharger that Allegro 💪
I love this video better then car throttle keep up with the good work
When Alex’s fist disappeared into a hole at the back of Taylor’s Mini I just laughed 😂
Not Alex scratching the sellers other car at 12:30 with him wobbling the fence 😂😅😂😅

I saw that it was annoying as fuck like whyyyy
Ahhh that's classic mini rust. It's had corners cut like they all did to keep them on the road. Oversills, fiberglass, paper 😂 just like mine. Good thing id , complete sills, floors and any panel you could ever need are readily available from a variety of suppliers. Just get the sparkle spanner out and crack on boys.
Set up you got the mini for the super charger or the engine as well and the wheels for the Allegro simple but the mini is worth alot restored but the mini was cheap even being rotten but if you're stripping it you can sell alot of parts wats left
13:46 in the background there seems like ideas of new content. Like the names of those cars on the list ❤
i am loving the old top gear chalanges vibe.
Next week, Taylor sweeps his new project into a bucket, drops the supercharger in the top - done!
Welcome to wigan hope it wasn't too bad of an experience 😂 gutted i didn't bump into you guys would of been awesome to of met yous!
Supercharge the Allegro using the parts from the mini! They both use A series engines ultimate sleeper.
Oooh, a British classic? Lovely jubbly!
I’ve been waiting for a classic Mini. Excellent Video 👏
Great video and content. So we have seen an Allegro on the channel, might as well go the full hog and have a Montego and princess on the channel 😂😂 Thank you for 2 years of top content ♥
Good job Taylor is now so much trimmer. I had forgotten how small Minis actually are! 😉
As the owner of a British racing Green (with white roof) mini I approve of this video very much. All the panels including a complete new shell are available to buy

I turned around at half 12 after waiting in a random village for 2 hours, absolute joke. If we don't get refunded then I think all hell will break loose

@@ligma_nutz it was around half 1 when I turned around. It was 11AM when I arrived at some town, which sat nav said was 8 minutes from where the what3words spot was. By half 1 I estimated getting to the carpark around half 2; at this point I was 0.3 miles away! With the walk to the circuit I reckoned maybe the time will be around 3/quarter past? I'm not certain about the walk time... I was then thinking when it's time to leave, if we'll be sitting in traffic like that on the way back, so decided to turn around.
