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.

Not one of the tidiest ADO16's we owned, but after a small out
of
tidying work the car soon became very presentable again.
Owned 1990 - 1992 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |
