ADO 15 Austin Seven, Morris Mini Minor
The Austin Se7en, Morris Mini Minor (ADO 15), Austin/Morris Mini MkII, Mini Cooper (ADO 50), Mini Clubman (ADO 20) began when Alec Issigonis was brought back from Alvis in 1955 and assembled a team with Jack Daniels (Morris) and Chris Kingham (Alvis). Austin Drawing Office code 15 (ADO 15) was given to the existing XC9003 project in 1957 and already Issigonis has a blueprint for a tiny front wheel drive saloon on 10-inch wheels. Development continued apace until launch in autumn 1959, by which time Dick Burzi had added a little styling, such as a grille, to an otherwise bland design. Within three years 500,000 Minis had been built, and after ten years 2 million had been sold.
