I just realized that I have the Passport To Service booklet that came with my Midget. It indicates the first service was performed 4-3-74 at 1137 miles. The repair order is listed as well as the dealer's name. The dealership name is hand written and appears to be "Volker's Imports". I believe the dealer to have been in or around Grand Forks ND. Inside the back cover there is a small pocket and in the pocket I found a metal plate like was used in the old credit card machines. It has the name and address of the original owner, the vin number, and what I assume to be the date of purchase.
These booklets were evidently included with a new car. They included a voucher for a free 1000 mile service. These cars also came with a 1 year 12,000 mile warranty. The entire warranty is printed in a space 2-3/4" high x 2-1/2" wide. Although there is a short paragraph under it is a short paragraph with words like "applicable", "in Lieu of", "express or implied", etc.
I find it interesting that the "Owner's Responsibilities" Is a column of text 5-1/2" high by 2-1/2" wide. Twice the space used for the warranty.
Apparently this same booklet was used for other British vehicles as well as for the Midget. It has the "Minimum" Maintenance Schedules for Austin MG, Jaguar, Triumph, and Land Rover.
