Part 1: Austin Allegro V6 street sleeper project // Jonny Smith

This video has been one that many of you have asked about. Jonny started this project of taking a hated 1970s British Austin Allegro and making it perform, handle and stop like a modern-ish hatchback back in 2007. The 1977 Allegro was found minutes where he grew up in Somerset and is a rarer 2 door model in fetching Antique Gold (one of many vile British Leyland hues). This is episode one of a mini series, where Jonny's car goes off to the team at Midland Performance and Retro in Shropshire ( https://www.midlandperformance.co.uk/ ) to be finally finished as he intended. The Allegro's drivetrain has been taken from a 1993 Rover 827 Si donor car, which has a Honda-derived 2.7-litre 24v V6 and a manual 5-speed gearbox. The aim of a sleeper is to not give the game away as to its performance and capability. As such the 'All Agro' will retain as much original 48k-from-new paint as possible. The suspension is now adjustable coilovers and brakes are Golf GTi front discs, with 14-inch steel wheels from a VW Polo (to mimic the originals in form). These areas are yet to be completed, as is the wiring (stand alone ECU from Specialist Components https://www.specialist-components.co.uk/ ), supercharger (Eaton M62 from a salvage Mercedes SLK Kompressor) and boot mounted cooling system. Wanted: -Electric cooling fans, radiator and hoses. -Strut braces for torsional rigidity. -Disc brakes for front and rear, plus hoses, servo and master cylinder. -Induction air system and plumbing/mounting for supercharger -Limited slip differential Follow future episodes where the Allegro receives a detailed transformation from dowdy OAP chariot into a 200+bhp supercharged V6 driver's car.
