Owning an ADO16

 

Owning an ADO16 can be a trial from time to time, but as I'm sure you'll agree a very enjoyable one!

Whether you are looking for an event to take your car too, or looking for information relating to a job you need to carry out on your vehicle then you'll find the information here.

 
 .: Buying guide

You MUST be mad!?!?

It's common knowledge that the humble ADO16 rotted from around you. So why would you want to spend hundreds of pounds of a piece of junk?

Use this guide to ensure you get the "most" car for your money.

 
 .: Dashboard layouts

The ADO16 wasn't worried about what guise it came in - it had a dashboard for every occasion!

Here you'll find the dashboard layout for pretty much every ADO16 flavour.

 
 .: Dimensions

Ever wondered the dimensions of your ADO16 are? Maybe you're buying your first ADO16 but aren't sure whether it will fit in your garage?

Not only do you get the exterior dimensions you also get the interior dimensions, just in case you plan to carry anything larger than yourself... and a passenger.

 
 .: Events

So, you've made your choice - took the plunge and bought an ADO16. What better way to show off your pride and joy, or meet fellow owners. The show season will soon be upon us once again, and here's a list of planned events.

Are you planning an event that we've not got listed? Please take the time to email us by clicking the "Email" button above.

 
 .: Event reports

Did you attend an event with your ADO16? Or did you organise an event where there was a small gathering of ADO16s?

If you did, then check here to see if I have a report about your event. If I don't why not submit one for inclusion on the site?

 
 .: Getting started

Choosing a classic car was never meant to be easy. Why should you choose an ADO16? Do they rot as badly as everyone says? Are spares easy to obtain?

Check out the ado16.info "Getting started" guide. It answers some of the commonly asked questions. Do you have a question you would like answering and adding to the guide? Contact us using the "Email" button above.

 
 .: Identification

Is your ADO16 everything it should be? How could you find out for sure? Well you could check your registration document, or your identification plates.

By using your identification plates you should be able to tell how many vehicles had rolled off the production line before your ADO16.

 
 .: Owners club

If you've bought the car (or looking to buy the car), there's nothing like owning the T-shirt, joining "The 1100 Club" is the nearest you'll get. There's nothing better than the support of fellow members to help you on your way to enjoying your ADO16.

Note: The 1100 Club web site will open in a new window. Please ensure that if you have a "Pop-up" blocker on, it allows this window to open.

 
 .: Price guide

You're not wanting to sell your ADO16, are you? Although, you might be wanting to add another ADO16 to your collection - even better.

You'll find the current market values for all makes and models of ADO16.

 
 .: Register

Since you've clicked onto ado16.info, I'm guessing that you either own an ADO16 or have done in the past? - If either of the statements are true then this section is for you!

Perhaps you've just purchased an ADO16 and you're on the look out for fellow owners, then again you might be checking to see if your old car still about - the register pages might help you out.

 
 .: Restoration

When I've been carrying out tasks on various ADO16s I've written up some tips and tricks you can use when carrying out certain jobs on your ADO16.

 
 .: Servicing

When's the right time to service? What needs to be done to ensure your ADO16 continues running at it's best? The servicing section gives you all of this information plus measures you may wish to carry out to prevent serious faults.

 .: Services

Whether you've just been hit with your insurance renewal quote, or you car is getting ready for it's annual service. Then you've come to the right place!

Our services guide includes: Insurance, Restoration & servicing and spares providers. The list is always changing - so if you know someone we've not included then drop us a line.

 
 .: Suspension ride height

Worried that your ADO16 isn't sitting correctly? A common ADO16 problem is that the suspension system hasn't been checked for ride height/fluid pressure for a number of years.

Check your ride height before it's too late!

 
 .: Weights

When living near a weighbridge just isn't possible - you can always take a look at our weights guide. You'll find most ADO16s are covered here.

I'm still missing the I3/I5/I4 models. if you've got these details then please Email us.
