{"product_id":"9781847976765","title":"Austin Allegro : An Enthusiast's Guide by Ben  Wanklyn","description":"The stylist of the Austin Allegro, Harris Mann, said of the car that 'It took a lot of stick, but it wasn't that bad a car ... The trouble was that every one off the line was different in some way, thanks to quality control.'  As a result, few have bothered to explore the little Austin's background; what it was designed to achieve, how it became the way it was, and what happened to make it so infamous.  Austin Allegro - An Enthusiast's Guide redresses the balance, telling the Allegro's tale of grand designs, high hopes, management compromises, failed dreams, industrial unrest, national ridicule and finally, redemption.  Now experiencing something of a comeback as a cheap and cheerful classic, the book provides ownership advice and buying information for all models.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56313065177461,"sku":"9781847976765","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781847976765.jpg?v=1762825221","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781847976765","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
