Below you'll find a fleet of ADO16's
models available for the Australian market. It's always
interesting to see how the vehicles differed from the UK
spec. |

Morris 1100/1100s |
 |
|
You'd
think that the Morris 1100 would be the
same spec as the UK version wouldn't
you? Well if you thought that you'd be
wrong! There were around 40 improvements
made for the Australian conditions.
Some of the improvements make sense,
even for UK production cars. Some of the
smaller (cheaper) ones were used on UK
built cars. |

Morris 1500 |

The
Morris 1500 could be classed as a car
that was designed locally. The only
thing was, it was actually designed at
Longbridge and built in Australia.
Perhaps more commonly recognised in the
hatchback version the Nomad. With a Maxi
style rear end (although it was actually
taken from a Renault) and bulge in the
bonnet. |

Sales figures |

|
An
interesting look on sales of the Morris
1100 and Morris 1500. It's surprising
when you see them plotted side by side
on a graph to see the difference between
the two.
I'd have thought that the Morris 1500
would have been more popular because of
the larger engine? |
