Pretty much every part on all models of classic mini's, their part numbers, and diagrams to show where everything goes....fantastic reference book it is. Theres technical info also like torque settings, body and engine identification, dimensions etc....

Well worth every cent and more....


Is it a book of items for sale? and also does it have prices? sound like a silly question but I find that most places dont advertise a price?

Thanks

It is a list of items for sale together with part numbers and exploded diagrams. It is very much worthwhile having in my opinion - I've often used it as a workshop manual off the exploded diagrams.

The previous versions do not have prices and I would doubt this does also. They are rumoured to be preparing a website with prices........

I would still recommend buying the book regardless.

The Book does not have prices, This is for no other reason than by the time changes are made to the book and the time it takes to have them printed The prices are out of date, It has been my experience that this causes a lot of Problems
It Is our aim to have a data base set up on our website ( When it is Completed ) so that people can punch the part Number in and the price will be avail
Regards
John

The Logo was the idea of the sales rep for the Pink Pages, Yes thats correct Pink pages, this was about 1967, They took a photo of me and a photo of my Mini Van, took them away to their Art department and came back with the logo, I was about 19 at the time, Note the Sideburns :D

And you haven't aged a bit ( But I would keep my mouth shut about Pink pages - my brothers went to school with the son of the printers and used to get a summer job proof reading the Pink Pages :shock: )

" Think Pink" :lol: Caused a stink at the time when Yellow Pages took over - An American company coming in on a family owned Australian business that had done the job since Alexender Graham Bell and out bidding them on tender ( with what was rumoured to be inside information)
