AI Listing Summary
This 1981 Vanden Plas 1500, a more luxurious version of the Austin Allegro, has been owned by the same family since c.1994. Showing 48,600 credible miles and having had only two former keepers, it presents as a barn find needing restoration, with poor bodywork and paint but a good interior.
Condition
3
The car is described as a 'true barnfind in need of restoration' with 'Poor' bodywork and paintwork. While the interior trim is rated as 'Good,' the unknown condition of the engine, gearbox, and electrical equipment, combined with the need for restoration, suggests significant work is required.

Produced between 1974 and 1979, the Vanden Plas 1500 and 1750 models were upmarket versions of the Austin Allegro which had first appeared in 1973.
Allegros manufactured at the British Leyland factory in Longbridge, Birmingham, were sent to the Vanden Plas factory in Kingsbury, North London, to be fitted with a luxurious interior featuring leather seats, wall to wall carpeting, a walnut dashboard and walnut picnic tables.
They also featured a new bonnet panel allowing for a prominent chrome grille.
BL's marketing men went to great lengths to distinguish the Vanden Plas models from the rest of the Allegro range, never badging or referring to them as Allegros.
Vendor Condition Ratings: Bodywork: 'Poor' Engine: 'Unknown' Electrical Equipment: 'Unknown' Paintwork: 'Poor' Gearbox: 'Unknown' Interior Trim: 'Good'
