As you can see, this website is full of research. Had a bit of a donor car research blitz lately. Brochures are always good to see how a car originally was.

The Motor Trader Service Data series is always a good source of information. Obviously the Mini 1275 GT changed over the years, but the below is a good start to find information.

Another brochure purchase was what I believe may be the first Midas brochure. It is a variation on the colour version that I thought was the first. Main thing that got me excited re this brochure, is that it had a colour swatch attached. Will help match the paint along with other information.
