Just got my hands on this little gem: -

It's a technical sales brochure created by AP to promote their 'Manual and Automatic Transmission' and sent to garages/dealers.

Date-wise I would say it's from 1966 as it shows AP as recipients of the Queen's Award for Industry in 1966 and there's a sticker inside the back cover - "Stop Press! AP Automatic Transmission is now available on the BMC 1300 series motor cars" which was around the same time (I think).

It's only 14 pages long so the technical information is not at the same level as some of the manuals I've seen but it does make an interesting and informative read. And there's lots of pictures!

If anyone's interested in a copy I could probably scan it and produce a PDF when I have a few minutes.

Great find!
I always ask Mark F of the Mk1 Performance website if he would like scans of rare early Mini related documents/brochures like this for others to share and download, he is always grateful for new contributions (his contact email is on the website):

Nice find, I love things like this

I found this similar item a couple of years ago, only gave £2 for it, another little gem I reckon. It's like a workshop manual and has got some excellent illustrations in it. Again, if anyone wants a copy, I'll scan and email it to you.............can't do the PDF thing, I'm afraid.

I've now scanned this. If anyone would like a copy please PM me your email address. I can either send the file by email, it's in PDF format (just under 30mb) or send you a link where you can download it from.
