Independent Reviews
Review from Octane magazine, September 2007
This is the 13th in Veloce's series of compact, softbacked buyer's guides and it follows the now-familiar formula of expert advice and small but informative pics. Every aspect of ownership is touched on and the cover price is negligible if you're thinking of buying a car.

Review by Andrew Stone for the Morris Minor Owners Club, July 2007
UK
Want to know more about Saloon, Traveller and Convertible models produced from 1952 onwards? Look no further than the latest title from Veloce Publishing in their Essential Buyer's Guide series.
The 64 page A5 sized book written by Ray Newell offers sensible, easy to read advice on the dos and don'ts of buying and maintaining a Minor. Colour photographs are extensively used throughout the book to provide a step by step guide for prospective purchasers on what to look for and where to find it. Invaluable advice is offered on a wide range of topics ranging from parts availability and cost relative values of different models, the viability of restoring to buying at auction. There is even a points scoring system aimed at providing potential purchasers with a no nonsense guide to assessing the vehicle of their dreams.
The book is an informative read and its compact size means that it can easily be stored in the glove box for future reference, At RRP of £9.99 there is little on the market that can compete with it. Enjoy!
