As Novas Aquisições

[José Carlos Magalhães]

Olá Amigos

O Allegro já chegou.

E já sofreu melhoramentos:

Suspensão carregada, motor de arranque limpo e..........pintura polida.

O carro não estando impec, também não está assim tão mau, tendo em conta a idade ( é de 1975 )

Só o facto de ter a suspensão carregada, ficou logo com outro aspecto. Mas com o polimento da pintura, então parece outro carro.

Nas fotos dá para perceber a diferença no capôt do motor, da parte polida para a parte não polida.

Um especial agradecimento ao meu amigo Fernando Couto, da Carfix, que fez um trabalho notável.

Que espectáculo! E eu a pensar que era o único maluquinho que tinha um gosto enorme por estes automóveis!

Um dia, tenho que ver as maquinas ao vivo. Gostava de ter todas elas na minha garagem!

Os meus mais sinceros parabéns.

E venha o Marina! Ainda não desisti da busca de um.

Até que é um carro engraçado, o Allegro.
Parabéns, ele merece todo o carinho...

Não sei se alguma vez tiveste a curiosidade de ver o artigo da Wikipédia acerca do Austin Maxi, nas "Popular Culture" refere...

"On 1 July 1969, John Lennon crashed a white Maxi on the single track A838 road near Loch Eriboll in the Highlands of Scotland. He was on his way to visit his uncle in Durness with Yoko Ono, his son Julian and Yoko's daughter Kyoko.

Originally they had set off from Tittenhurst Park, his country home near Ascot in his Mini Cooper, however it soon became apparent that it was too small for them to drive all the way to Scotland, so they stayed overnight at his relatives' home in Liverpool where he rang Apple Recordsand arranged for a driver to bring the "staff" car, a recently acquired Snowberry White Austin Maxi registered RLA668G. It featured a full length white webasto roof and also had a silver apple mounted on the radio speaker top of the front fascia.

Next morning Ono and Lennon transferred all their luggage over and his driver took the Mini back to Tittenhurst, and the four set off north again to Northern Scotland, stopping briefly in Windermere and Edinburgh. It was whilst driving the narrow A838 road that Lennon panicked when he saw another car approaching him and sent the Maxi headlong into a ditch. While the children escaped relatively unhurt, John received a gash to his forehead and Yoko injured her back, resulting in a hospital stay in Golspie's Lawson Memorial Hospital for five days where he was treated by Doctor Michael Simpson. After they returned to London, John arranged for the Maxi to be placed on a plinth outside his Tittenhurst home as an homage to their luck, where it stayed for the next few years, during which time Julian took the silver apple from the dash and kept it as a keepsake, though it was auctioned many years later, also John had its steering wheel removed and it was hung up in his billiard room in the house. When John and Yoko finally left the UK for New York City, John sold Tittenhurst to Ringo Starr who immediately had the Maxi crushed"

Mais BMC que esta história é impossível!
