A couple of other ADO17s seen in glimpses, all Mk2 like this one. Happy to revise ID for comments about Austin or Morris and 1800 versus 2200 in NZ. |

As nzcarnerd asked on main page, this garage at Pokeno has these vehicles passing: - pale green Victor 101 saloon as they draw up at the pumps, then running across this view in order were as far as I can tell - - orange Japanese estate, possibly 120Y - blue Japanese saloon, maybe also 120Y - unidentifiable white saloon, - unidentifiable brown estate with dark side flash, - pale blue ADO16 which smelled MG for colour, and - silver Avenger. All to blurred to capture - the IDs were apparent from the movement, but stills would be useless. |

Re the ADO17s, I think the 2200 was a rare sight in NZ - the only ones were possibly imported from UK. I am fairly sure we only had 1800s locally assembled. We also saw Wolseley 18/85s but I suspect they were imported built up. I could be wrong on that as I know that we had both Rily Elf and wolseley Hornet versions of the Mini assembled locally. The Vauxhall estate I thought I remembered appeared a little before or after this scene. I will have to find my copy of the movie and look for it. I think the two Japanese cars that dsl thought might be 120Ys were 180Bs - from memory. -- Last edit: 2013-03-20 08:39:27 |

impossibe to tell side on whether Austin or Morris 1800 side on - Yep we did get a few 2200 but they were UK assembled as were the Wolseley 18/85 and 18/85S and the 6 - Emco group who had the manufacturing plant just out of Petone now 'Giant car Sales; did have an ultra rare Morris 1800 Princess floating around (leyland 18/22 series after all prior to Leyland name - Austin; Morris & Wolseley names) |
