I personally think its quite good! something different....and aint that what we're all about here?? The thought of lambo doors did cross my mind on the Datsun not too long ago

Sad to say I've now looked at the picture three times and still haven't seen anything to amuse or inspire me. It's neither cool, funny nor cleverly ironic I'm afraid.
Now if it was an otherwise stock, mint Vanden Plas with lambo doors it'd be far better IMO.

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

The VP thing did cross my mind. Perhaps I should have kept it and given it the lambo door treatment. Amazing thing hingsight! ;D

Damn forgot to put my 2p in lambo doors hmmm - does it have Lexus lights too like the black wheels and the gulf(esk) paint but overall would have been better without the chavy doors just

I agree BC.
They shoulda gone the whole hog. A lambo-doored Allegro with flip paint, white leather, dvd players and chrome r1mZ as a parody of current show-cars would have totally worked.
A gulf-themed Allegro (no lambo doors) would also have totally worked. That, currently, doesn't know if it's Arthur or Martha.

i want to have little gulf coloured babies with lambo doors for arms with that car. except the wheels are gash, which is a big like an incredibly fat pair of legs, so i couldn't have little half car babies and thus i've decided i like it, but not enough to give it the attention it craves.
that makes no sense.

I've got to admit, the Allegro joke has worn far too thin. Fair play for putting some cash money into one, but I wouldn't have spent it the same way.
Allegros are a bit ropey. Deal with it.

To be honest i think the Allegro is one of the reasons we have no propper car industry in England, however the lads are taking old, unloved 70´s cars and are giving them the business.
Slammed, wheels, engine job, paintjob etc... sound familiar?
Not my cup of tea but 10/10 for effort!!
