the all-agro was based on the austin 1100/1300 series. in redesigning it they made the car heavier and with less interior room. truly a lose-lose, it’s only claim to fame was a 5 speed transmission on the 1500 and 1750 engines.

I had the 1100. I also remember having to re-gap the points every 300 miles. If you happen to forget the car would definitely remind you!

Didn’t it also take 50 weight oil. I can remember changing the oil once and put 10 w 30 in it. Every morning when I started it up it would fog the entire estate.

I think I still have a Chilton’s manual. A must if you own any British Leyland automobile.
