Mini Cooper & 'S' Brochures

Listed here are every single brochure ever published by BMC to promote the BMC, Austin & Morris Mini Cooper & Mini Cooper 'S'.

Publication Number H. 6163 (7/61)

The first brochure for the 997cc Morris Cooper . Various versions exist, the changes were made to reflect changes in specification and local market conditions. This style of brochure was used until the introduction of the 998 Cooper in mid 1964.

Publication Number 2178/a

Firstly, a big thank you to Peter Winter for a copy of the rarest 1071 brochure of all! The mythical 2178/a This is the original brochure with the warranty information un-blocked out. For more details see below.

Publication No: H & E 6315 (4/62)

The first Morris Cooper S brochure, for the 1071cc model. This one is by far the most interesting! In the first edition, firstly the date code is April 1962!, it should be April 1963 and secondly there is a blanked out paragraph, if it is examined very closely, the following text is revealed.

Publication Number 2049

The first brochure for the 997cc Austin Cooper . Various versions exist, the changes were made to reflect changes in specification and local market conditions. This style of brochure was used until the introduction of the 998 Cooper in mid 1964.

 

Publication No: 2178/B

The first Austin Cooper S brochure for the 1071cc model. I have never found a version with the same "Blanked Out" area as the Morris version, but the "/B" number implies that they are out there somewhere, if you find one I would love to hear about it.

Publication No: H & E 6418 (4/64)

Another very rare beast, this is the Morris Cooper S brochure that fills the gap between the first monte win in Jan 1964 and the introduction of Hydrolastic suspension in summer 1964. Most of these were pulped upon the introduction of Hydro! If you find one of these, you are very lucky!

 

Publication No: 2230/A

The Austin variant of the rarest of the Rare Mini Cooper S brochures. This one was released for a short period between February and June 1964. It only lists the 1275 & 970cc variants but describes the original dry suspension system. As rare as Hens teeth!

 

Publication No: H & E 64115 (9/64)

The "Standard" Morris Mini Cooper & "S" brochure from summer 1964 until the end of MK1 production in 1967. Many slightly different versions exist but they are all similar. Very common and a bit dull. 

Publication No:

The "Standard" Austin Mini Cooper & "S" brochure from summer 1964 until the end of MK1 production in 1967. It has been issued under a variety of different suffixes, I have seen at least 6, all very similar with only very slight detail changes to the text. (Thanks Andy B)

Publication No: 2460, Austin / 2461 Morris

BMC are obviously beginning to cut corners with the introduction of the MK2 models, the cars are still badged as both Austin & Morris, but the brochures are identical, apart from the fact that one has "Morris" over the Mini-Cooper (as here) and the other has "Austin" in the same place.

Publication No: 2692 Austin / 2694 Morris

BMC are obviously beginning to cut corners with the introduction of the MK2 "S" models, the cars are still badged as both Austin & Morris, but the brochures are identical, apart from the fact that one has "Morris" in the bottom left hand corner (as here) and the other has "Austin" in the same place. 

Publication No: 2735

The end of the line. No longer Austin or Morris. Just Mini Cooper S MK3. Produced in very limited quantities (like the car). British Leyland and a guy called Stokes couldn't wait to kill the Cooper & S off. They finally succeeded in early 1971.
