ADO22 was being developed by British Leyland as a replacement for the ADO16 we are all familiar with.

The bodywork was overhauled at the front making the car slightly longer at the front. The same bonnet was used, but the wings and front panel were squared off. The bumper is mounted slightly higher up.

The cabin used the same style as before, and the doors had been lifted from the original design. A new revised interior would be fitted including revised safety features.

ADO22 would pick up ideas that would then later be used on the Austin Apache. The rear end was extended to give the car more luggage space. Alex Moulton had been appointed to design a revised suspension.

However, Leyland cancelled the facelift in favour of the Allegro.

ADO22 would have made an impressive replacement. Would Allegro have been created if ADO22 had been launched?
