Cool same year as my mini.
I might copy it to my list of period images.

copyright, No.
Your only posting images of interest to a classic car forum, not passing them off as your own work. Its long out of date at anyrate.

I love the "Accelerates like a dragster 0-50 in 13.9!"

Creative advertising at it's best.

Nice find and it looks in fantastic condition too.

Publishers copyright lasts 25years - intellectual copyright last 75 years if the author/graphic artist can prove they actually wrote it.

according to the Reserve Bank Inflation Calculator,a Mini costing 833 pounds in 1965 would cost the equv of $17,484 today. :o

Do you think a new car with the selling points of that Mini Deluxe would find any buyers today for that price...... :wink:

that means the 850 must have been about 15k, so pretty much comparable with whats on the market today for those prices.

I saw on a BBC programme guys talking about the Mini and how Ford bought one and took it apart. They struggled to see how it was built for a profit, and the answer they came to was that the mini was sold at close to cost.

833 pounds in 1965 is, in 2008 NZ$27757.80. (From the Reserve Bank of NZ CPI calculator).

A Suzuki Swift sells, at a profit presumably, for NZ$16,990. Seats five and won't kill you in an accident. Negligible maintenance.

Cars these days are cheap.
