Fantastic beasts. I've driven one of those early 'Quartic' ones - it's rather difficult to do the "push-pull" through your hands method of steering that the instructors teach. Drove ren16tx's W reg Allegro 3 half way back from the BL meet at Peterborough at the weekend. Actually quite good, very well behaved for a car that's been off the road for 5 years!

I know mate, I had a series 3 in a lovely shade of bright yellow (Snapdragon?) that had also been of the road for a few years. Fair play it was ace fun and drove loads better than I thought.

Yeah, this one is bright yellow too! Chris calls it "Inca Yellow" ... IF you're coming to the G rally this weekend, you'll see it and bring back some memories!! He's going to bring it because he's got no GS at the moment!

Early SD1's had that sort of 'square' steering wheel as well. Soon got 'lost' on the police spec ones along with the crappy brakes and the wheels in favour of working examples....
