History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) |
 | | Already famous for his designs of the Morris Minor and Mini, BMC automotive design genius Sir Alec Issigonis, with assistance from PininFarina in Italy, based the 1100 on his previous design for the Mini ("ADO-15"). |
 | | The 1100, designated "ADO-16," for Austin Design Office Project No.16, was first introduced by the British Motor Corporation as the Morris 1100 Mk1 and was available as a four door model. |
 | | Due to their success, popularity and high demand, the cars were built in several other countries, including Italy(producing the Morris Innocenti IM3), South Africa(producing the Austin Apache), Spain(producing the Authi Victoria), and Australia (producing the Morris 1100 Mk1, Morris 1500 and Nomad wagon versions). |
