What parts and books can you buy from The 1100 Club?
The 1100 Club sells two categories of physical goods through its website: new BMC 1100/1300 front wings made from recommissioned original factory tooling, and exhaust systems for the same range of cars. It also sells The Story of the BMC 1100, a hardback book priced at £25 plus postage and packing. Members may be able to get discounts on some items, but the discount amounts are only visible after logging into the Members' Area, so non-members should email [email protected] to ask about current prices and availability before ordering.

Front wings (BMC 1100/1300)
The club bought the original BMC factory front wing tooling for the 1100 and 1300 range in 2019, recommissioned it, and used it in 2020 to produce a run of new panels. These are described as top quality panels made from the original tooling, and they are available to purchase.
This is the item most likely to matter if you are restoring a car and cannot find usable original wings. Because the panels come from the original BMC tooling rather than a pattern copy, they are aimed at owners who want a correct fit and appearance.
Two things to check before buying:
- Price and stock: the site does not list a price for the wings in the material available, so ask by email.
- Member discount: the club states that members can log into the Members' Area to find substantial discounts. If you are not a member, compare the cost of joining against the discount before ordering.
Exhaust systems
The site lists BMC 1100/1300 exhaust systems for sale. No price, specification or material details are given in the available material, so treat this as a "contact to enquire" item rather than a fixed online listing. When you email, it is worth stating your exact model and year, since the ADO16 range covers many variants (see below).
The book: The Story of the BMC 1100
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Price | £25 plus postage and packing |
| Format | A4 hardback, full colour |
| Length | Over 160 pages |
| Content | Over 500 pictures/illustrations and over 57,000 words |
| Coverage | All variants of the ADO16 |

| Sales | Over 1,100 copies sold |
The club produced the book as a 50th anniversary project. It is still described as available at £25 plus p&p. If you want one book that covers the whole ADO16 family rather than a single model, this is the item the club itself points to.
Which cars these parts fit
The club covers the BMC 1100/1300 range, also known as the ADO16, from the 1962 Morris 1100 through to the Mk3 Austin 1300, including the MG and Wolseley 1100/1300, Riley Kestrel and Vanden Plas Princess 1100/1300 versions. Front wings and exhaust systems are listed for the 1100/1300 range generally, but because the range spans many badges and model years, always confirm your specific variant when enquiring.
How to buy or ask about an item
- Go to the club website and look at the For Sale / Wanted section and the relevant product pages.
- If you are already a member, log into the Members' Area to see member pricing and discounts.
- If you are not a member, or the price is not shown, email [email protected] with the item you want and your car's model and year.
- Expect to confirm postage and packing separately, since the book price is quoted as £25 plus p&p and the parts listings do not state delivery terms.
What membership adds
Membership is not required to browse the site, but it changes what you can see and buy:
- Access to the Members' Area, including every back issue of the club's bi-monthly magazine, Idle Chatter, published six times a year.
- A searchable technical information database and PDFs of key 1100-related documents.
- Classified adverts available to members exclusively for the first two weeks of posting.
- Member discounts on items such as the front wings.
The club was formed in the UK in 1985 and has members in Europe, the USA, Asia, New Zealand and Australia, so overseas buyers should ask about international postage when they enquire.
Quick decision guide
- Restoring a car and need front wings: contact the club about the original-tooling panels, and ask whether joining first lowers the price.
- Need an exhaust: enquire by email with your exact model and year, since no specification is published.
- Want the full ADO16 story in one volume: the book at £25 plus p&p is the straightforward purchase.
- Planning to buy more than one item: check membership, because the discount is only visible inside the Members' Area.
