:: January


		Photo Caption: A new year, and a new cover star. This month Phill Prothero's Austin 1300 Mk3 takes pride of place. Phill informs me that this car has covered a genuine 40,000 miles and has only had two owners.

:: February


		Photo Caption: Richard Collett's 1967 Mk1 Vanden Plas named "Margaret". Strange to see a 11967 vehicle on a "G" plate, isn't it? Richard tells me that "Margaret" was originally exported to Jersey and a few years later re-imported to the UK. Hence how the "G" registration was picked up.

:: March


		Photo Caption: Liz Smith's Riley Kestrel 1300. Not only one of the rarest 1300's but a well looked after example. I understand that Liz uses this car on a daily basis, and it is fitted with a sunroof taken from a Saab. It's an excellent piece of workmanship.

:: April


		Photo Caption: Terry Trueman's Austin 1100 Mk3. You're probably questioning my choice of image this month. But there's a good reason I chose this shot. I like the clean look of the base models, and this shot shows just how basic you got! No opening back windows here!

:: June


		Photo Caption: Terry Trueman's Wolseley 1300 Mk2. Sticking with the site's corporate colours this month, Terry Trueman's latest acquisition a Wolseley 1300. Terry is one of the many ADO16.info readers who have purchased their car through the popular auction site eBay, this being his second!

:: July


		Photo Caption: Lee Harris' Austin 1100 Mk1. Lee recently restored this Austin 1100, and so I thought I'd give it pride of place on the front of ado16.info this month. Finished in Connaught Green with a Beige trim, I think you'll agree a good combination?

:: August


		Photo Caption: A sorry end for the "original" 1100. Not only a completely different look for August but also the first red car of 2006! I recently spotted this 1100 decaying in a field. Further pictures are available on the spotted page. I'm sorry to say that it looks like the Morris has now gone to the scrapyard in the sky.

:: September


		Photo Caption: Volker Ahlert's 1970 Morris 1100 Mk2. Volker bought this stunning example off eBay in April this year. Volker did tell me that the first owner had been very careful in ensuring the car was wax protected from early on. That's three vehicles so far this year that have been bought off eBay, has anyone else done the same?
