My first street-legal car was a green Allegro 1.3, complete with 70's-tastic orange furry seat covers and the unmistakeable imprint of a pair of ladies stiletto shoes in the roof lining above the rear seats. We didn't dare remove the seat covers.
Good car though. Reliable, cheap to run, I commuted it daily 30 miles each way to Bristol and back for a year or so with no problems at all.
