- Built
- October 1964 – early 1975. Around 386,000 across all marques; about 221,000 Austins. Austin 2200 and Morris 2200 together only 20,865, 1972–75.
- Engines
- 1,798cc B-series (80.3 × 88.9mm), around 85bhp, 86bhp from the Mk2. 1800S from October 1968: twin SU HS6, around 96bhp. 2,227cc E-series six from March 1972, 110bhp.
- Gearbox
- Four-speed, all-synchromesh, in the sump. Cable change on Mk1 and Mk2, rod change from Mk3. Automatic from 1968.
- Brakes
- Girling, discs front and drums rear, servo, with an inertia-controlled limiting valve. Australian Mk2 cars use Repco-PBR dual-circuit instead.
- Suspension
- Hydrolastic, interconnected front to rear, in a tubular cross-member welded to the bulkhead — there is no bolt-on front subframe. Roller bearings on Mk1, bushes from Mk2. Rear anti-roll bar deleted end of 1965.
- Electrics
-
Dynamo and positive earth on Mk1 and Mk2; alternator from 1972. Ribbon speedometer on Austin and Morris; the Wolseley has round dials.
- Wheels
- 13in with 4.5in rims on Mk1; 14in from the Mk2, May 1968.
- Mk2 and Mk3
- Mk2 May 1968: revised interior and grille, vertical fin rear lamps (not Wolseley), higher gearing, 14in wheels. Mk3 1972: new shared grille, floor handbrake, rod gearchange, and the six.
- Bodies
- Four-door saloon only in Britain. Australia built a coupe utility, 1968–71, over 2,000 made. The doors also went on the Maxi, the 3 Litre and the Panther De Ville.
- Built here
- Assembled at Petone and at Newmarket, Auckland — both Austin and Morris badges on otherwise identical cars. Some 2200s came in fully assembled in 1973–74.
- Servicing note
- The gearbox shares its oil with the engine. Frequent oil changes protect both.
