Had a MG Maestro turbo in my youth Went like **** off a shovel but scared the crap out of you if you tried to stop with its milk bottle top brakes
Had an Allegro until it cost more than I was earning to get repaired so it stuck in the garage where the kids could use it as the Starship Enterprise, I got a motorbike a Yamaha. I also had the Morris version of the MG shown in the pictures, the estate version though, lovely car but I traded it in for the Allegro, sigh
