The Incredible Austin Se7en.
"This is without a doubt one of the best promotional brochures ever produced for the Mini.
Published as part of the major re launch in Spring 1961 this brochure contains some of the nicest images ever produced in Mini publicity material."

Same garage as the two with the Mini and A40:
Obviously a bodyshop and possibly a BMC one. You can just see a clipper blue early Mini Minor behind the tweed (?) grey Mark 1 Minivan.

I would worry about travelling at speed with that "wind shovel" sun roof . . .

You're right about that advertising picture with the lady and the light blue mini Martin. BMC had some superb advertising blurb for minis, right through to the end of production. But dear o' deary me, they were let down badly by the sales management teams.

That said, the good guys in the advertising dept were let down right to the end by the shoddy work practices and out-inspection department at the factories.

Added a bit later........ I must admit to having used some of these old BMC advertising pictures as my screen saver. In fact, I noticed several of them featuring Mini's and MG's turned into post cards for sale in a shop in Marlborough last week - including a nice red Rover Cooper Sport
