Default Valve amps

Hi,

It's an RX7 Turbo II, but I wouldn't have thought it was unique. The
middle one looks like an old Landy of some sort, but I'm not sure
about the little one hiding behind it. Could be an old Daihatsu
FourTrak, or an early Suzy.


I got as far as RX7, but there's no way I would have known it was a II.


(Ignore the vans and crap next door - it was a smallholding and the bloke
next door was trying to be a farmer and almost succeeding....)


But the Allegro is a classic of British engineering!


The revered Rustin Allaggro. I once had to pump three gallons of water
out of the petrol tank of one of those. To this day, I have no idea how
it got there. I was running a mobile disco using a 1750 Austin Maxi as a
'van' about then (1983?). It was a horrible piece of junk, but it just
wouldn't die, despite all my friends learning to drive in it.
