markjtaylor should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Rallying was surely the best use for allegro's, the quickest way to get rid of them. They should have been driven through a forest in the dark, without lights, to speed up the process.
Or perhaps let the late, great, Tony Pond loose in avery one made, perhaps delivering them via forests to the dealers. the PDI would have been interesting.
A mate of mine worked in BL main dealers when these were launched, remember him telling me that they jacked one up on one occasion, not using the actual jack location, the windscreen feel out!! Also, jacking them up under the sump broke the sump. allegedly BL used to send out tubes of Belzona, a composite metal glue, that was there approved repair to avoid fitting new gearbox casings.

LONG LIVE THE ALLEGRO !!?? B**locks
