A nice example of a series 2 Alfa Romeo Spider from 1975. The second series Spiders are easily distinguished from the first by the change in body style: from the round-tailed back end of the late-sixties cars, to the more abrupt Kamm tail of those from 1970 onwards. There were a number of variants within the series including the Spider Junior 1300, Spider 1600 Junior, 1750 Spider Veloce; but the car seen here is the 2000 Spider Veloce (actually 1962cc), typically just badged Alfa Romeo 2000. This one was first registered in August 1975. What a beauty!
The Austin Allegro was manufactured at Longbridge, Birmingham between 1973 and 1982, with significant revisions in late 1975 and late 1979. available as a 2-door saloon, a 3-door estate, and as seen here a 4-door saloon. This one is in BL's Blaze red(?) with a black vinyl roof. A fine-looking combination! Registered in June 1975, this is one of the first 'series 2 ' Allegros. It is equipped with the larger 1.5L (1485cc) E-Series I4 engine, and certainly makes a statement. Pictured alongside a 1974 Austin 'series 1' Allegro - note the differing front grilles.
A nice example of the third generation Hillman Imp - built in 1975 at Rootes' purpose-built Imp factory in Linwood Scotland. 875cc engine at the rear, 2-door saloon. Rootes had been bought out by Chrysler (in 1967), who kept the Imp in production until 1976.
1975 Leyland Sherpa camper van with pop-up roof. 1798cc. Registered October 1975.
1975 Triumph Toledo. The Triumph Toledo was produced in the UK at the Canley plant between 1970 and 1976, as a two-door or, (as seen here) four door saloon. This example is one of the 113,294 1.3L (1296cc) Triumph Toledos built in this time. Registered March 1975.
