ADO stood for Austin Design Office i.e. Longbridge, and numbers included the
following:
ADO 6 London Taxi (FX4/FL2)
ADO 8 Austin A40 Farina
ADO 9 Austin A55 Cambridge (Farina)
ADO 14 Austin Maxi
ADO 15 Austin Se7en (Mini)
ADO 16 Morris 1100
ADO 17 Austin 1800 / Morris 1800
ADO 28 Morris Marina
ADO 67 Austin Allegro
But then doing a Google with ADO52 throws up 4 pages that relate to MaBeL.
However this is not a VIN.
