re: Brochures, Manuals and Publicity Matter beyond borders for V & C Automobiles

These are extracts from the P.Ward Owner's Handbook/ Maintenance Manual for the Hillman Minx Series I to VI and Husky I to III (1956-1967).
The older Minx's from the 1940's and early 50's that we are familiar with in India are the Phase I,II,III and so on.

re: Brochures, manuals and publicity material of vintage cars (foreign)

This car advertisement is from the era when Austins and Morrises, hitherto two bitter rivals had similar designs. This was because Morris Motors headed by Sir William Morris (later Lord Nuffield) bought Austin Motor Company in 1952, a decade after the death of Lord Herbert Austin in 1941. It then became a conglomerate viz. British Motor Corporation.

The Austin A 60 a Morris Oxford lookalike!

re: Brochures, manuals and publicity material of vintage cars (foreign)

A Morris Oxford Series II (our Landmaster) advertisement from the archives. The favourite phrase of Lord Nuffield (earlier Sir William Morris) the founder of Morris Motors was "Quality First."This is used here in the advertisement. The Morris Cowley Oxford Owners Club (also Issis) journal is called "Quality First" as a tribute to the founder.
(its identified as a Series II, because the steering horn button can be easily identified. Or else, the upholstery and the window shape are the same as the Series III)

A huge cache of Morris advertisements in various hues.
One advertisement is for a wheel disc featuring a Morris 10 while another is for Smiths meters featuring a Morris Minor 1000.

re: Brochures, manuals and publicity material of vintage cars (foreign)

Here's a small Sales Flyer for the 1915 Ford Model "T" from a dealer in Perth, a small town near Ottawa Canada.

From a 145 page 1915 Catalogue for Automotive Parts with about 40% for the Fort Model "T". What a great looking after market front radiator and the various after market custom bodies to drop on the Model "T" chassis!
