[quote VFX028A26CT8CD6W]IMHO, they would have been better to have spent what little money they had (which they used to restyle the 1100) by making the car a full hatchback...[/quote] The Morris Nomad was a full hatchback - Australia's first, by the way. The Nomad and 1500 sedan were released together in mid 1969. That's where the development money was used. A Renault 16 was imported long before Renault Australia had one, and it was used to lay out the basis of the Nomad, similar to the Austin Maxi concept in the UK.
