@Billhook basically  cos people thought they were shit they got scrapped / too expensive to do / kids arrive. Even Austin Allegro is cool now cos that  😳 K  ( bloke in Hackney wanting 2 grand fr one last year !) 

Sorry to keep oversteering away from the caravan topic but I do have a soft spot for the Allegro.  I bought a 1750 model failed MOT, took out the engine and gearbox, welded up a frame, fitted the engine lengthways and sent the driveshafts to a Land Rover front axle at either end to make a four wheel steer, four wheeel drive sprayer/fertiliser spreader.  What to call it though?  We took the two signs  "Allegro" and "LandRover", cut the "Ro" off Allegro and the "Over" off LandRover and ended up with "Allegover" 

It was registered and I had a call from a young lady in the local licensing office who had obviously been put up to it by her colleagues.   "I am ringing about this vehicle, A leg, Alleg oh Christ it's a bloody Legover!"  much background laughter.
