(Can't find the newspaper add atthe moment... but :

Although the Mini was introduced to the UK market in 1959 it did not arrive in Australia until March 23rd 1961.
On that day, the newspapers carried advertisements consisting of a page, which was blank except for a birth notice, in the form of a classified advertisement, which read as follows:

MORRIS (nee Mini Minor)
Early this morning at the
British Motor Corporation’s
Sydney plant, after ten years'
development, a sturdy youngster.
Name Morris 850. All wonderful.
Visitors welcome from tomorrow.
