Just wondering what brochure this image below is from (if any?)

Apparently it is almost identical to one that features in a Mini K brochure, but the car in that brochure is a monotone Mk2.

I don't know but I remember it being stuck on my bedroom wall as a kid.

Phill - there were five versions of the Mini K brochure (that I'm aware of). I believe the first of them was four pages and was printed to support the release of the Mini K in March 1969. There was no photo of the Cooper S, just its specifications in a table on the last page. At this stage the Mark 1 Cooper S was still in production alongside the Mini K. An Austin version of this brochure is in the brochures folder here - viewtopic.php?f=32&t=73886

The photo above appeared in the first of the Morris brochures printed in the first half of 1969 so still shows the Mark 1 Cooper S. By April 1970 the picture changes to show the Mark 2 Cooper S. Subsequent versions were produced in Feb 71 and May 71 to include changed items, such as rear seat belts as standard.

So sorry, bit confused, the "first of the Morris brochures" you mention that my image is from contained what? Was it a K brochure with extra pages for the matic and cooper s?

Or were they just a single sheet with specs on the back?

I have photos of a mini k brochure and this Cooper S page is part of the brochure.

It is an 8 page brochure produced mainly for the Mini K, but includes the Matic and Cooper S as well. I've scanned the early version and posted it here - viewtopic.php?f=32&t=94542

This 8 page brochure was updated in April 1970, Feb 1971 and May 1971. You can see the publication dates below the British Leyland logo on the back page (final version shown below)

Thanks Winabby. That's interesting. Also interesting the later brochures seem to show the mk2 with Tasman mags fitted rather than standard wheels.
