Hanra, I have the Morris version of that old Austin manuel you have. I don't know if they are rare or what but cost me abot 15 bucks with psotage off ebay 3 years ago. It's really good actaully but pre-big bore so little help to me in the engine department. I also got The good 'ol gregories for both Roundnose years, But I got the UK version which includes Aussie stuff too. So it's 1959 - 1971, and the Clubby one. And a weird very short one I got for 5 bucks at a swap meet. <edit> I also got the 'How To Modify Your Mini' and am very interested in getting the 'Yellow' book. Does this yellow book have anything on supercharging of mini's? as The 'How to...' book left it out. bIs the yellow book worth buying?

The UK Gregory's which has the Aussie stuff is quite good, it ahs the PBR brake stuff, Aussie dorrs, and Aussie electrical diagrams.

Both of the more interesting types (gregory's is not worth posting a pic as you have a similair one above)

Hmm no one answered my question.... Is the Vizard yellow book, as pictured above^ any better than the 'How to modify you mini book' by him? And does it include any info of turbo/supercharging?

yes, is is more detailed and yes it does cover "forced induction" (my 3rd edition does) in one chapter, but i would buy a book about chargers if you want to know more, like "Maximum Boost" or "Supercharged" from Corky Bell

Cool. I bought it simply because it had 'mini' written on the front. It's not as good as a workshop manual as say a Haynes or Gregory's but has road testing and pictures of various tools you'll need. I like mostly how it has pictures of everything, like carby dismateling and cleaning, step by step photos.
