In line with BMC's policy at the time, Austin badged versions of the ADO16 were built at Longbridge, whilst Morris and MG versions were assembled at Cowley. However, some were also built in Spain by [[Authi]], in Italy by [[Innocenti]], in Yugoslavia (Slovenia) by [[Industrija Motornih Vozil|IMV]],<ref name="pravilivozili">[http://ba.n1info.com/Auto/a74796/Proizvodnja-automobila-u-bivsoj-Jugoslaviji.html SFRJ četvorotočkaši: Šta su pravili i vozili Jugosloveni?] at ba.n1info.com, 23-12-2015 {{in lang|sr}}</ref> and at the company's own plant in Belgium. It was the basis for locally adapted similar cars manufactured in Australia and [[South Africa]]. Various versions including [[Austin Motor Company|Austin]], [[Morris Motors|Morris]], [[Morris Garages|MG]], [[Wolseley Motors|Wolseley]] and [[Riley Motor|Riley]] were assembled in [[New Zealand]] and [[Malta]] from [[Knock-down kit|CKD kits]] from 1963 until the final Austin/Morris versions were discontinued in 1974, a year after the launch of its replacement, the [[Austin Allegro]].

The vehicle was launched as the Morris 1100 on 15 August 1962. The range was expanded to include several [[rebadged]] versions, including the twin-carburettor MG 1100 (introduced at the end of September 1962),<ref name=IMS1062>{{cite magazine | ref = IMS10 | title = MGB och 1100 | page = 28 | language = sv | last = Blunsden | first = John | location = Lerum, Sweden | magazine = Illustrerad Motor Sport | number = 10 | date = October 1962 }}</ref> the Austin 1100 (August 1963),<ref name=TT55799>Austin.

The Morris badged 1100/1300 models were discontinued on the launch of the [[Morris Marina]] in 1971, but the Austin and Vanden Plas versions remained in production in the UK until June 1974.

The three-door [[estate car|estate]] version followed in 1966, called ''Countryman'' in the Austin version and ''Traveller'' in the Morris one, continuing the established naming scheme. The Austin 1100 Countryman appeared in the ''[[Fawlty Towers]]'' episode "[[Gourmet Night]]", in which the short-tempered owner of Fawlty Towers [[Basil Fawlty]] ([[John Cleese]]) gave it a "damn good thrashing". This episode was first shown in October 1975, by that time it was already out of production. 

In 1964, the 1100 was [[Wheels magazine]]'s [[Car of the Year]].

For most of its production life, the ADO16 was Britain's best selling car,{{Citation needed|date=May 2025}} holding around 15% of the new car market at its peak, before finally being outsold by the [[Ford Cortina]] in 1972.
