ADO17 was the project code given to what became the Austin/Morris 1800/2200. Austin debuted the ADO17 model in October 1964 as the 'Austin 1800' and Morris dealers had to wait until March 1966 for the 'Morris 1800'. The Wolseley version waited until March 1967 to reach the market as the 'Wolseley 18/85'. Designed by Issigonis, the unloved body design caused the car to be known as the 'Landcrab'. Pininfarina were fully involved in the ADO17 styling even if most of their work was left on the drawing office floor. The 1800 used a 1798cc B-series engine adapted for transverse mounting and bolted to a front wheel drive transmission. In May 1968 MkII 1800 were launched, gaining 14inch wheels in place of 13inch (for lighter steering), and vertical fins to visually disguise the width of the car. In March 1972 the 1800 range was extended with a new 6-cylinder version of the Austin Maxi E-series engine. The ordinary 1800 was upgraded to MkIII and production ended in 1975. The doors of the ADO17 were later used on the Austin Maxi, Austin 3-litre and other Australian models.
