I have been wondering if there was ever an Australian Sales Brochure produced by BMC/BLMCA covering the Morris Cooper S Mk 2?

I have an 8-page Sales Brochure covering the Mini K 1100 - "the great leap forward" which was produced at the time of the release of the Mini K 1100. I obtained the brochure in December 1969 when I purchased my long-gone new 1969 Mini K 1100 from Lancaster Motors in Chatswood, NSW.

Page 6 of this brochure covers to the Morris Cooper S and Page 7 covers the Mini-Matic. Curiously, the photos in this Brochure for both the Cooper S and the Mini-Matic are of the Mk 1 variants, as evidenced by the Mk 1 bonnet badges and Mk 1 steering wheels.

Regards, Rob

I've got two versions of the "psychodelic" Cooper S brochure. ( http://mk1-performance-conversions.co.uk/non_uk_brochures.htm ). No sign of a MK2.

I've never seen a BMC/BLMCA Brochure on the MK2. Would love to see one though, if its out there.

The Mk2 brochure looks the same as the Mk1 but the cooper s is all indigo blue and has dunlop mags and mk2 features and the descriptions on the back cover are different . I have both.

So it has the same "psychodelic" cover like the MK1 publication, but with MK2 pics and info? Any chance we can see a photo, please? :)
