Yup - given the front plate that is definitely an Austin/Morris 1300 engine. However the gearbox is an A series casing rod change unit, and not the original remote unit that came with the engine - unless the ADO 16s ever had a rod change???

Bit of googling...

In 1972 the manual 1100 and 1300 A Series engines was given an overhaul. The new revised models boasted new gear change, rod change in place of the remote gear change. This however meant that more engine stays were required as alloy housing wasn't there to act as one. Also making a debut on this new transmission were "pot" joints. Designed so that they shouldn't break up, however they gave a much harder ride and if they did go wrong it would cost a small fortune to repair.

 

 

 

So it has the rod but no pot joints then?

Yes it appears to be rod change but still has the old type driveshafts!
