Have we six ADO71 only? Amazing. :O I don't know why this car is so underrated. It's unique looking & elegant sedan. I love its wave lines. -- Last edit: 2010-04-06 23:04:16 |

The Austin/Morris/Wolseley 18-22 versions were only in production for less than a year before being re-branded as 'Princess' (manufactured by Leyland Cars Ltd.). Quantities on IMCdB currently 6 - Austin ADO71 1 - Morris ADO71 2 - Wolseley ADO71 32 - Princess ADO71 Plus four of the coachbuilt funeral cars etc. I must admit it lines remain remarkably 'modern' even today, but it suffered I guess from quality, poor development, and confused marketing at a time when Leyland Cars were struggling also with funding and labour problems. The buying public continued to buy more reliable and conservatively designed large saloons instead. |

Indeed. Firstly I clicked "ADO71" mark and got 6 answers only. "ADO71" taped on search mode gave me 2 pages, indeed. All Leyland 70s cars suffered less or more, due to same shortcomings. :X And good to know, this one is still alive ![]() /vehicle_140666-Princess-2200-ADO71-1978.html -- Last edit: 2010-04-07 20:05:46 |
