Wolseley 1100 and 1300 (ADO 16)

In 1962 the ADO 16 was launched in the Morris 1100 version. The Wolseley 1100 (and Riley Kestrel) derivatives were launched in September 1965. Riley and Wolseley models had better trim than Austin/Morris versions. 1275cc engines were offered as an option for the '1275' model from summer 1967, but when the MkII version was launched in autumn 1967 the 1275cc engine was available in the new 1300 model. The 1100 MkII model was dropped in spring 1968, and the Wolseley 1300 MkII with improved engine and gearbox announced in autumn 1968. The Wolseley 1300 MkII ended production in 1973.
