16-months in the making, Part 4 of the Allegro Sleeper is here. And some pretty big decisions have been made in that time.

As some of you may have seen on socials, we turned over a bit of a new leaf with the ever-stalling Austin Allegro sleeper project. Note we didn't use to the term 'V6 sleeper', as the difficult choice has now been made to not use the C27A Rover 827 (Honda) motor.

There was always a question mark about future-proofing the build and the decisions Jonny explains in this latest update are all about this exact thing.

Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
