BMC 1100/1300 (ADO16)

ADO16 was the code name of the Austin Morris 1100/1300 range of cars. This book details the complete range of main models and their MG, Riley and Vanden Plas derivatives. It looks at the mechanical design and development, as well as placing them in context within both BMC and the market. The book is a celebration of the ADO16, a best seller of its time and a car that gave British families their first truly modern, stylish and practical vehicle while being reliable, economical and roomy all-rounders.

So let us and this book celebrate one of the British Motor Industry’s forgotten successes, the car that built on the success of the Mini to provide Britain and the rest of the world with a little gem of a motor, which was the perfect family saloon car of the time.
