ADO16 was the project code given to what became the Austin/Morris 1100/1300 range with the MG/Riley/Wolseley and Vanden-Plas versions. Beginning as the Issigonis Project XC9002, it was a cut-down version of the bigger XC9001 which would become the Austin/Morris 1800 car. Sergio Pininfarina was called in to design the ADO16 body, and hence it is prettier than either the Issigonis Mini or the Issigonis 1800 cars. Morris 2 and 4 door cars were launched in August 1962 with the 1098cc A-series engine and hydrolastic suspension. In October 1962 the MG 1100 was announced, with the same body styles and a 55bhp twin carb engine. In autumn 1963 the Austin and Vanden-Plas versions of the 1100 were launched, and a year later Riley Kestrel and Wolseley 1100 versions with 55bhp engines. The 3-door Countryman and Traveller Estate cars were announced at Geneva in 1966. From June 1967 the premium brands were given the option of the 1275cc engine, and badged '1275'. In October 1967 the 1100 cars were upgraded to MkII models with more streamlined rear wings and lights, ventilated wheels, and new 1300 versions of all brands took the 175cc engine. MkIII cars appeared from autumn 1971, and production ended in summer 1974
