In 1962, a quite revolutionary new saloon was launched by BMC at the same time as the brand new MGB. Initially wearing the Morris badge, ADO16 was hot from the drawing boards of Alec Issigonis and Pininfarina. Offered in many guises by Innocenti, Morris, Riley, Wolseley, Vanden Plas, Austin, and MG the AD016 was truly universal in its appeal. In line with BMC's policy at the time, Austin badged versions of the ADO16 were built at Longbridge, whilst Morris and MG versions were assembled at Cowley. The original MkI models were distinctive for their use of a Hydrolastic suspension. Unlike almost all of its competitors, the AD016 featured front-wheel drive instead of the rear-wheel drive. The MkI Austin/Morris 1100 was available, initially, only as a four-door saloon.

Chassis GAS3104040 was manufactured in 1966, being supplied new by Carr Brother Automobiles of Purley, Surrey, and was registered new on the 1^st of May. In long-term previous ownership of twenty-six years, the MG has had just four owners from new. With only 41,000 miles from new with supporting evidence in the history file, the 1100 is finished in Dark Green over Cream with Green leatherette interior upholstery. Benefitting from extensive improvement in 2021, ‘EGU 245D’ received bodywork repairs, suspension overhaul, and attention to the braking system. Rated by the vendor as having ‘excellent’ gearbox, ‘very good’ bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment and gearbox, and a ‘good’ interior, the vendor also informs that the MG is an ‘excellent, straight and reliable example’. Offered with a history file, this example is a real MG or classic car collectors delight.
