1960 mini parts prices?
I am doing a project on early mini costs and wonder if anyone can remember the prices of servicing and service parts,( plugs, points, filters, oil etc) in the early 1960's I cannot find much Googling it!

Re: 1960 mini parts prices?
This useful 1965 BMC booklet below gives the time in hours allowed for various jobs to be carried out by motor mechanics in the Dealer/Garage workshop. So if you can also find out the garage hourly labour rates for the years you are interested in, you could then work out the labour cost for various jobs and add the replacement parts prices (when known) for the average total cost.
