The brochure is pretty hard to come by, the one in circulation on the internet is most likely mine

As for owners manual, I'd suggest looking on somewhere like eBay, they do turn up every now and then.
I'll keep a look out for you as I'm after one myself.

I believe the Austin-Rover manuals are all pretty much alike, just need to find one belonging to a 1988 998cc Mini as that's what would have most likely been supplied. Just had a look and there's one on eBay for £10 at the moment, wouldn't suggest buying though as it doesn't look in particularly good nick. All the same, it should put you in the picture of what you're after.

Yup... I found another one of those though that didn't look too brill. That one doesn't look half-bad though.

You saw it first, so you get first dibs!

That's the owners handbook that came with my first Mini, which was a 1975 MKIII Mini 1000. So unless you own a Mini 850 & 1000 of October 1969 to October 1976 vintage, then that manual won't really apply to you?

The 1980's Mini manuals tended to be plain fronted with a green or blue 'Mini' motif in large letters.

To be honest, my 1990 Mini Cooper owner's handbook would be closer to your Mini Designer LE, than that 1970's one on e-Bay: -

To be honest, I think I garnered that upon closer inspection, 'because those pics on t' front aren't the right Mini types... Hope Nicole catches this thread and doesn't spend her hard earned on duff gen!
