Our family is certainly ADO16 mad. Over
the years we've owned various Makes and Mks. The collection,
however, has grown and we now own three ADO16s.
You can see the current fleet listed towards the top of the
page, and previously owned vehicles towards the bottom. |

SKC
510G was purchased as a replacement for
out Mk1 Morris 1100, which we sold as a
third party had a financial interest in
the car. Originally bought as a project
car and with the intention of selling
afterwards, however, four years on she's
still with us.
Owned since 2000 |

BON 835K |
 |

The
newest addition to the family is BON
835K. A very sound Mk3 Austin 1300
Countryman. Fitted with the automatic
gearbox, and bed option. Also known, as
BONK.
Owned since 2003 |

Previously owned: |
| |
|
:: XWB 157G |
 |
|
Not one
of the tidiest ADO16s we owned, but
after a small out of tidying work the
car soon became very presentable again.
Owned 1990 - 1992 |
|
|
| |
| ::
GHT 397K |
 |
|
The
Vanden Plas 1300 replaced XWB, it
certainly was a higher class of motoring
than the basic Morris 1100. It did cost
a pair of sills and structural work
shortly before it's sale.
Owned 1992 - 1997 |
|
|
| |
| ::
MXC 222H |
 |
|
The longest serving car in the
family. MXC is an Austin 1300 GT
finished in Flame Red. After a starring
role in the February 2006 edition of
Practical Classics the car helped
generate some interest in the range
again. Finally the 25th May 2006 saw the
sale of our longest serving ADO16.
Owned 1997 - 2006 |

:: SRB 420F |
 |
|
SRB was
the first ADO16 we carried out major
restoration too. Originally it was
agreed we would carry out the work to
get the car through an MOT and then we
would sell the car, as a third party had
a financial interest in it. It took a
while for this to happen and I became
quite attached to it...
Owned 1998 - 1999 |
|
|
| |
| ::
HUV 390K |
 |
|
What a
sad tale, an ADO16 with a pile of
history, bills and publication material.
Unfortunately the quality of repairs
carried out were a little hit and miss
to say the least. The tin worm killed
this car, with help from us. However it
still lives on in memory.
Lived 1972 - 1999 |

:: NWE 655K |
 |
|
One of
the last Mk2 estates to roll through the
mighty BMC gates. Purchased second hand
in 1976, the car was purchased from a
small car sales lot in a village called
Eckington. The same person now owns
Autoworld in Derbyshire.
Owned 1976 - 1977 |
