Both are fully roadworthy and I like to use them. The orange (no, no, Vermilion if you please) Allegro 1500 Special (no, really) was built at the Seneffe plant in Belgium and imported back to the UK. In Denim Blue Metallic is the Vanden Plas 1500 Auto (certainly not an Allegro), and if anyone thinks a Triumph America is slow they should try one of these. This car was UK built and was one of the very last to be trimmed at the Vanden Plas works at Kingsbury, North West London. Cheers!
Although I'm not sure I ever see myself owning an Allegro (or a Vanden Plas ) they look mint, and I love the narrative
He did ride his bike to a bridge earlier in the thread though- timing eh!
