Description

The Austin Allegro 1500 Super was a higher-spec version of the Allegro, featuring a 1.5-liter E-Series inline-four engine that provided improved performance over the smaller displacement models. This version retained the Allegro’s signature front-wheel-drive layout and Hydragas suspension system, which ensured a smooth and comfortable ride.

With the “Super” designation, the 1500 Super offered upgraded interior materials, improved upholstery, and additional chrome or trim enhancements that set it apart from the base models. It was aimed at buyers seeking a blend of practicality, efficiency, and a touch of luxury within the compact family car segment.
