The Austin Allegro was a small family car manufactured by the Austin-Morris division of British Leyland from 1973 to 1982. Designed as a replacement for the Austin 1100 and 1300 models, it was also produced in Italy by Innocenti from 1974 to 1975 and sold as the Innocenti Regent. During its 10-year production run, a total of 642,350 Allegros were manufactured, with the majority being sold in the UK. This figure was significantly lower than the 2.1 million 1100s and 1300s sold in the 11 years prior to its introduction.
The Austin Allegro was sold alongside the Austin Maxi and the Morris Marina, which were also part of the British Leyland lineup. Despite its relatively low production figures compared to its predecessors, the Allegro played a significant role in the British car market during the 1970s.
