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

Please add a content warning before jumpscaring us with the appearance of an Allegro

Get Ethan a welder from the middle aisle of Lidl and let him watch an “intro to welding” YouTube video. See how he gets on 😂

[perrymiller]

“Andy, fair play you’ve done me over” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 brutal honestly

[AntCooke]

Alex "Are you going to be sad to see it go?"
Andy "Not really...."

A British Leyland car is the only car that Alex could rebuild himself to the same standards as the original factory

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.

Allegro + Supercharged Mini drive train! Done!

I love how Taylor naturally and organically quotes Jeremy Clarkson “a symphony of brown” in his general vocab. Just goes to show how much underlying influence that show had on all us car nerds.

That gate coming soooo close to rubbing against the car as Alex was shaking it... eek!

[Rdf]

Alex wobbling the gate was killing me 😂😂 but it looked close to the car I was like 😮 but all good

[pauljeffries]

Great video, that mini is fitted with oversills, that's why it's rotten, it's a common bodge on classic minis.

[Pouckie]

Thank you guys for 2 amazing years of great content !
With the two other channels and the V2, we are really spoiled :-)

“If you wanna buy a classic car for 3000£, DONT”
spot on 😂

Alex 12:28 just shaking this guy's fence to bits 😂

[SpitfireFortyFour]

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!

[christianstratford]

Call in good old Tom right up his street, he'll swear at it a bit and it'll be right as rain😂

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.

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.
