Book Synopsis
This book is something of a celebration of the ADO16. Back in the day these cars were best sellers: they gave lots of British families their first truly modern, stylish and practical car, and were reliable, economical and roomy all-rounders. With over a million cars sold in the UK between 1962 and 1973 the ADO16s were pretty much the 'Universal British Cars' of the time and were present in every city, town, and village, and on every country road and trunk route in the '60s. So let us and this book celebrate one of the British Motor Industry's forgotten successes, the car that built on the success of the Mini to provide Britain and the rest of the world with a little gem of a motor, which was the perfect family saloon car of the time.
