It came with a Mini Deluxe that was sold new on 24/8/66. (It has the number 1060 on the cover)
I have the Passport to Service handbook, the accessories brochure and the dealers list as well as the fitting instructions for the distributor waterproof cover.
The car was sold by Rudder Motors, 130 Kinghorne St Nowra NSW.

I have another Deluxe handbook from C.D. White, Narrabri NSW

I have an earlier one here 1015 on cover, if some one cant find theres came from a Morris Mini Minor handbook,

Was about to reply but read through all off post and seen Morris 1100 had it covered, looking for a Minor brochure too, to complete books, then I will have a complete set of brochures and manuals, taken 20+ years but had large gap in middle

Thanks

Monte

I know you might be a bit shy Neil, but i'll tell them what you traded the MK1 S for, was it not a VW beetle??

yours in work....Gerg

Nice one Gerg. I'me just suprised it has taken U so long to reply.

I was in Illawong last week - we bought a stove off ebay from someone there there who obviously has had a long history with minis and some of the top names in Australian motorsport history.

I just found this list from a 1976 Mini advert. It is a list of NSW Mini dealers.

i've got this in my handbook case, sorry its blurry

what age is this brochure, looks like a BL item so must be post 71

Thanks Monte

and whats the name of the St George Qld dealer? BP was from about 1970 when they took it over

Hey Spaceboy,

Can you please look and see how many (I'm assuming just one) BMC dealer ships there were in Gatton in QLD for me please? I think the post code for Gatton is 4343.

Thanks.

<edit>BTW I have tried to read the scanned / photo you posted but all I can make out is "Gatton" in the QLD section but I can't actually read the name.
