Some cars go down in history for their speed. Others, for their beauty. And then there’s the Austin Allegro Vanden Plas. Get this beauty on prints.
Celebrate the charmingly awkward icon, the Austin Allegro Vanden Plas. Some cars go down in history for their speed. Others, for their beauty. And then there’s the Austin Allegro Vanden Plas 1500 — gloriously remembered for its unapologetic quirkiness and sense of British eccentricity. With a walnut dashboard, picnic tables in the back, and a grille that looked like it had dreams of being a Bentley, the Vanden Plas was the luxury trim nobody expected… but everyone remembers.
Now, this magnificent oddball of motoring history lives on—not just in enthusiast garages or classic car meets but proudly illustrated and available on a wide range of products. Whether you want to wear it, sip from it, or hang it on your wall, this lovingly detailed artwork brings Vanden Plas’s unique charm to mugs, t-shirts, posters, tote bags, and more.
Because let's be honest — life is too short to drive boring cars, and definitely too short not to celebrate the bold design choices of the 1970s. This is a tribute to a car that dared to be different, at a time when most other saloons were just trying to look vaguely sensible. The Vanden Plas didn’t care — it came with chrome mirrors and a raised eyebrow.

Treat yourself (or that one friend who still talks about hydragas suspension at parties) to a product that wears its automotive heart proudly — with wood trim, velour, and a knowing wink.
