Haynes Mini Owners Workshop Manual, No. 527: 1959-1969 All Models 848cc, 970cc, 997cc, 998cc, 1071cc, 1275cc Paperback – June 1, 1965

This manual, is good, but! i have a 1960 mini minor with in floor start button which this manual electrical does not cover, also this manual does not refer to the pictures figure number, as you read in the chapter it says see picture. in other manuals that the same company prints they say refer to figure 11.1, because sometimes the picture could be 3 pages ahead of the chapter you are reading. On their TDC they dont even mention the distributor rotor direction, for TDC the rotor should point to cylinder number one tab on the distributor cap when the number one cylinder is at TDC. some minis don't have a timing mark on the timing cover and this makes it puzzling for anyone who trying to work on there mini for the first time. before taking anything apart always note how it was put together or where things go or take a picture of it.with old minis there are a lot of new parts that have been updated. on the clutch diaphragm they are color coded for load, green is soft blue is harder and red is even harder, ext..., there is no such mention of this in this manual, color coding are for different size engines and this manual covers 5 different engine sizes. it be a good idea to know you mini as this book is very helpful but can be confusing.

Where would the amateur mechanic and specialty car owner be without manuals like this ? The illustrations are superb, the text is exemplary, and the visual see through diagrams are self explanatory. The assemblage of this material is mind boggling in its detail, but oh so necessary to guide one on the successful completion of the tasks involved to keep ones auto in top notch condition. My copy came from a book seller that deserves an A+++ rating for sending accurately described, well packaged, and rapid delivery merchandise..

Great book

This has just about everything you need to know about your pre 1970 Mini. A lot of it will crossover to the 1970 and up Mini's too. Great illustrations and details. A definite must for any classic owner

Haynes manuals are helpful for any DIY car guy. This Classic Mini edition is no exception. It helps that the Minis were similar from year-to-year (-to-year-to-year). This manual is full of general information, as well as model-specific info.

Great reference for repairing my old Mini.

Bought as a gift for my brother in law and nephew who plan to rebuild their old minis. I was told this was the best ever mini manual available with huge detail and model coverage. An excellent buy.

It was exactly what I needed. Also was shipped quickly. Thanks

gift for my grandson, he races minis

Mini Owner's Workshop Manual (Service & repair manuals) quick delivery and very well packaged. perfect acompaniment to learn more about my car and do some of the repairs myself in future

I purchased it for my son in law, who hopefully will use it to fix my daughters 1991 mini. Thank you.

I unfortunately didn't get the early version up to 1968 included as shown here but a younger version "from 69 onwards"

all good
