The Austin 1100, despite being effectively the same vehicle as the Morris 1100 and MG 1100, was launched 18 months later, in late 1963. Like these, and other ADO16 variants, the Austin 1100 was fitted with BMCs A-series I4 1098cc petrol engine, and variations peculiar to the Austin version were merely cosmetic. This fantastic example of a three door estate hails from 1967 (registered November), and would have been one of the very last mk1 Austin 1100s sold, with production of the mk2 commencing in May of '67.

The Austin Apache was another vehicle designed by Giovanni Michelotti, but based on the Austin 1100 / Morris 1100 (i.e. part of the ADO16 group of vehicles first built in 1962). It was built by Leykor for the South African market, with almost 22,000 examples sold between 1971 and 1978. It was only available as a 4-door saloon, with a 1275cc petrol engine. It was actually the last of all the ADO16 variants in production. This beautifully restored example was imported into the United Kingdom in 1985.
The ADO16 was a range of similar cars designed by Alec Issigonis (who also came up with the mini) and produced by BMC (British Motor Corporation). It was sold under various brands including Austin, Wolseley, Riley and of course Morris. The Morris 1100 was actually the first ADO16 available, launched in 1962. Like other Morris vehicles, they were manufactured in the Cowley plant, Oxfordshire, UK. This lovely example of a mk1 Morris 1100 was built in early 1965 and registered in May of that year.
