What a treat to open the mail today - as NEW condition 1978 Leyland Workshop Manual for All Models of the Mini in Australia. Found in Winnipeg, Manitoba (middle of Canada)...offered for sale by a former Mini Club Member now based there with the Canadian Forces.

Will cross the Pacific with us enroute to the Van in Brisbane.

Thank you Mike P.

My greatest fear in life is that when I die my wife will sell my Mini and tools for the price I told her I paid for them!

You bet! And only because I trolled the VMC Swap 'n Shop for the first time in months....

mines dog eared and covered in grease now. and has been well loved.

my lucky find is the same manual in a red covered 3 ring binder with much more pages. I believe its the manual that actual mechanics used.

I have the same, but 1976 version. I just bought if for the FULL automatic supplement.
There are lots of errors elsewhere though, particularly wiring diagrams.

Mine isn't dogeared, but my Scientific Publications/Gregory's #64 and #02 certainly are.

As I was reading last night....

- 4 set screws anchor the ears of the front subframe to the toe board....

- print is so small/paper so soft (like a craft paper) that the inner diameters of brake cylinders are barely readable.

Will read the lot before the pages get dirty!
