Description:

The 1100 Club was formed in 1985 to cater for owners of the BMC 1100/1300 range of cars - known as the ADO16 - including Austin, Morris, Wolseley, MG, Riley, Vanden Plas and Innocenti. The aim of the club is to provide members with technical help, support and information and to keep as many examples of the BMC 1100 and 1300 on the road for as long as possible. Although based in the UK, the club enjoys an international following with members in Europe, USA and Asia as well as New Zealand and Australia. The 1100 Club also produces a bi-monthly magazine, IdleChatter , six times a year and club members can log into the Members Area of the website to access every back issue.Members also benefit from a searchable database of technical information, PDFs of key 1100 related documents, and the latest classified adverts are available to members exclusively in the Members Area for the first two weeks of posting.The Story of the BMC 1100 -- Still available for just £25+p&p In 2012 The 1100 Club embarked on a special project in the form of a celebratory book to mark the 50 years since the launch of the BMC 1100.
