Official Workshop Manuals
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2024 11:17 am
First post as a new member of the forum and thanks for allowing me to join.
I have just been gifted a Minor by my son and to say the least it will require some work to get it road worthy/legal but that is as far as it will go, as I intend to leave it as an "oily rag" renovation as far as the bodywork is concerned.
My immediate need is for an original workshop manual as published by BMC of which there are many currently available on Ebay in various conditions which doesn't bother me in the slightest but my dilemma is which is the correct one for my Minor, as there are many on sale for Minors of different years of production. I have always preferred using official workshop manuals even for the more common vehicle types, Haynes has its uses but you can't beat the real thing.
Could someone with knowledge of what would be the correct manual for my vehicle?
It was registered as a Minor in November 1961 (I have the chassis and engine numbers if that would help).
Looking at the manuals available on Ebay they show a number on the top right of the cover page, ranging from AKD 530 (A to E) but which is the right one for my Minor.
Any help would be gratefully received, thanks.
