Other Publications Also shown are three other small publications which do not have numbers. They were issued in the USA

BMC 's art department must have been pretty lazy. As you see the happy couple have now become the proud owners of a 3000! Except the car appears to be a 100-Six!!! Note the drum brakes and the ridge in the bonnet

Publication # 1431

This is a small format brochure. It is only a quarter of the size of the ones above and is much rarer. It is printed using only red, black and white

Publication # 1597

3000 Brochure -  Do you recognise the happy couple !!!

Publication 1399

This brochure is for the optional hard top only. Only the 100-Six model existed at the time so it can be seen as a 100-Six brochure

Another large format, full colour brochure but this one only has 4 pages It exists in many versions each being slightly different for different countries and also for the introduction of the 6 port model. It doesn't exist as a BN6 version.

This is essentially the same brochure but the artist has altered it to the 2 seat format of the BN6 It also exists as version 1334 / 2 / C

Another ultra rare document from Jim Lesher`s collection This one is for the introduction of the BN6 and is marked ' Confidential  - Not to be released before the 6th June 1958`

Publication # 1428

Publication 1428 is  different from the other brochures shown here in that it is for Dealers not customers. The package  contains examples of three advertisments  that the dealer may order and have his business name and address included in them. To order the ads the Dealer had to complete and return the card shown on the left. This package is so rare that most collectors I have spoken to have never seen another one like it.
