I would love to buy a copy BUT cost to ship to New Zealand via ebay is $41.07, nearly the price of the book! Is there a NZ book agent I can purchase from? Cheers


My observation is that eBay postage calculated rates bear little resemblance to reality. Why not call the author on his mobile number (which is in his earlier postings here) and ask him if he's willing to post to you in NZ? His number is 0408 431 807.


John has helped out and found a lower postage rate for New Zealand buyers. :-)
Thank you so much John and I'm looking forward to the books arrival and content.

I was glad John was able to use a lot of the factory and related documents I've accumulated. The information belongs in the public domain for the benefit of Mini enthusiasts.

John , I have a copy of your book , very well done , I am trying to pin down when my mini was built , it looks like jan 64 , YMA2S1 ,42237 , 8AM/U/H 647887, what do you think it seems to cross over Australian produced body with an earlier engine ?

Your car was built early 1964 probably Jan or Feb. This is the change over time from the imported 8AM/U/H engines to the Australian produced 8Y/U/H
