As a web site ado16.info is lucky to be able to balance out historical information and the views of owners. The two subjects actually go well together. The community pages of the web site are your pages.

If you've got a tale to tell then ado16.info wants to hear from you. Just contact us using the links at the bottom of the page.

 .: Facebook

As communication channels continue to evolve, it was only right that a Facebook group was set up.

With new members joining from around the world, it's a great way to interact!

 .: Forum

In 2005, after the success of the BMC1100 mailing list, it was decided to take the mailing list onto a new platform. A forum was established, and became a success.

The community is still as active today, visit us now!

 .: Guest writers - Keith Hallock

Keith Hallock takes us on his journey negotiating the path of ADO16 ownership. Something which many of us take for granted.

Chris also owns two 1967 Austin 1100 Countryman's.

 .: Guest writers - Earl Sharpe

Earl bought his 1969 Austin America in 2004 after seeing it in a compound. After purchasing the car, he began driving it home - but as with all new purchases something always goes wrong. At least it was only the exhaust coming adrift.

 .: Guest writers - Terry Trueman

Terry Trueman takes a look back at how he first became a fan of the ADO16 range - and to what lengths he went to, to purchase a 1968 Wolseley 1300.

Terry is one of many ADO16.info readers who have purchased their vehicle off the auction web site eBay.

 .: Mailing list - Red telephone box challenge

The mailing list ran a competition for a few weeks to see who could come up with the best red telephone box picture.

The winner was...

 .: Mailing list - Closure

The BMC1100 mailing list lasted for two years, had over 2000 messages posted and had 103 members.
