Innocenti Mini CKD

1974 – 1982 — Italy

The Austin Allegro was a small family car produced by the Austin-Morris division of British Leyland from 1973 to 1982. It aimed to replace the popular Austin 1100 and 1300 models and was also manufactured by Innocenti in Italy as the Innocenti Regent between 1974 and 1975. A total of 642,350 Allegros were made during its 10-year run, with most being sold in the UK. This number was less than a third of the 2.1 million 1100s and 1300s sold in the 11 years prior. The Austin Allegro were built and sold alongside the hatchback Austin Maxi, introduced in 1969, and the rear-wheel-drive Morris Marina, launched in 1971. The Allegro faced mixed reviews during its production years, with criticism focused on its controversial styling and inconsistent quality control. However, its spacious interior and comfortable ride were appreciated by some customers. Key Points: 1. Manufactured by British Leyland from 1973 to 1982. 2.
