In 2017 ado16.info used crowd funding to procure an ADO16 body shell and other panels. This has been used by Classic Sheetmetal Limited of Birmingham, UK with whom a very close working relationship has been established. Bespoke repair sections are now being produced and shipped to owners around the world.

One particular ADO16 body configuration was never sold in the UK but various overseas markets did receive it – the 2-door version of the Mark I saloon, available in Austin, Morris and MG guise.

ado16.info has purchased an all important entire NOS rear wing section for this model. This will enable Classic Sheetmetal to produce left or right hand side sections as might be required for repair or restoration by owners of such models.

Orders for all ADO16 panels can be placed by contacting Chris at Classic Sheetmetal:

Exclusive to paid-up members of the ado16.info club is a very generous 10 per cent discount.

Michael’s passion for cars was sparked at a young age, spending countless hours in his dad’s garage, observing the nuts, bolts, and know-how that brought vehicles back to life. That early fascination quickly became a lifelong interest, and over the years, his dedication to the classic car world has only deepened. With a strong preference for British marques, Michael’s collection remained exclusively homegrown up until 2014 — a true celebration of British engineering and design. His meticulous attention to detail and naturally inquisitive nature mean he’s rarely satisfied with the obvious answer. Whether he’s restoring, researching, or rethinking how something works, Michael has a knack for uncovering clever solutions and sharing them with the community. It’s that blend of curiosity, craftsmanship, and commitment that makes Michael such a valuable part of the ado16.info story.
