H&E 6230

Comments:

First UK brochure for the MG 1100. Aimed at both home and export markets, with mix of left- and right-hand drive cars. Cover features export-only two-door model. Internal text makes much of how front wheel drive allows for the absence of a 'transmission hump', thus benefitting interior space and providing a lower centre of gravity.

Comments:

Very similar to brochure 6230 (above). The paper is glossier but of lighter weight, and there are minor changes to the equipment and trim options listed. While the claims for passenger space and low centre of gravity remain, the remarks about the absence of a transmission hump have been dropped (presumably because someone pointed out that the car did in fact have a hump running down the middle of its floor).

The first UK brochure for the Princess 1300 (58bhp), but also covers the 1100 MkII. Both models were short-lived, lasting only from October 1967 until March 1968, when the 1100 was discontinued and the 1300's engine was uprated to 65bhp (60bhp for automatics). Brochure includes a plan-view drawing carried over from the 1100 brochure, which has been re-touched to depict the curtailed tail fins and revised seat-facings of the MkII models.
