Codenamed ADO16 throughout the developement stages what was to become the 1100/1300 family was consistently the UK's best selling car. Most were manufactured in the UK but they were also made in South Africa, and New Zealand in Spain by Authi and Italy by Innocenti.

The 1962-71 Mk.1 was followed by the Austin/Morris 1967-71 Mk.2 featured a slightly wider grille extending beneath the headlights and fussier detailing and a smoother tail than their immediate predecessors the Austin and Morris grilles were now identical apart from badging. The 1100 Mk.2 had been introduced with syncromesh on the top three ratios, followed by all synchromesh in early 1968 a few months later than the sister 1300 models

The Mk.3 ran from 1971-74 the 1275cc 1300 had been introduced to the range as a Mk.II in 1967 but for the Mk.3 the 1100 had been dropped the 1300 carried on more than a year after the introduction of its intended replacement the Allegro.
