The UK, Denmark, France and Italy have one thing in common... well they do to us here at ado16.info...
... the ADO16.
It's always nice when we find something unusual to add to our collection and given Italy was perhaps better known for the Innocenti ADO16 flavours, its unusual to have a brochure advertising the "humble" Austin 1300 GT and 1300 Traveller (rather than being referred to as a countryman!).
These brochures have now been uploaded to our archive, where you can view 180 different ADO16 brochures! Probably the biggest single model archive on the web!
We’re the global umbrella for the ADO16, the BMC/British Leyland 1100/1300 – in well over 60 countries and with a Facebook Group of nearly 3,200 members! You can join us too; the only ADO16 club with a FREE membership level: ado16.info/membership-join
Something we've been working on for a little while...
... following the NEC Classic Car Show, we met with many people who appreciate the vast archive of information we have on the website. So it only seemed right (whilst we let our voices recover!) that we finally pull together the information relating to a little known conversion produced by Yimkin.
If you're a member you'll be able to view the full article, just login as usual...

Make a dash to our club stand in Hall 4, at this years National Classic Car Show at NEC Birmingham where we are celebrating being in the driving seat of the ADO16 for 60 years.
From the 60’s utilitarian chic of the Morris 1100; the stylised ‘Strip Speedo’ of the Austin 1100 or the refined walnut in the MG 1100 - they’re all on display for you to see.
Did the Mg’s have a walnut dash, they seem very light for Walnut. I have one and always wondered what the wood was?
I’d of liked to come down.. Birmingham’s 4.5 hrs from edinburgh, when fuel prices get acceptable I might do it.. and I’ve wanted to come down for the past 5 yrs☹️
Popped over to see your stand yesterday. A lovely trio of cars. I especially loved the Morris as it’s identical to the one I grew up with. A stunner.
Well done guys, enjoy your day ! 😎🇬🇧
