BMC ADO17 - Home-market 6-cylinder Models

Home-market 6-cylinder Models

The range 2.2 litre straight-six engine used in the Australian "X6" cars eventually made it into the British ADO17s (Austin Drawing Office) in 1972; the British 6-cylinder models were known as the Austin 2200, Morris 2200 and Wolseley Six.

The ubiquitous doors even appeared on the further upmarket Austin 3-Litre of 1968 and, at prototype stage, Bentleys and Rolls-Royces.

Famous quotes containing the word models:

    “French rhetorical models are too narrow for the English tradition. Most pernicious of French imports is the notion that there is no person behind a text. Is there anything more affected, aggressive, and relentlessly concrete than a Parisan intellectual behind his/her turgid text? The Parisian is a provincial when he pretends to speak for the universe.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
