    Anyone out there like to guess the cost of a service on a Mini back in 1961.
    Each new car back then would be given a Maintenance Service Voucher Book to cover the first 24000 miles with the cost of each service shown on each voucher and a list of work to be carried out.

    Yes - that's how prices were written pounds (£) shillings (S) and pence (P). :)

    So how much was it?

    I had a 1960 Austin Seven for about 10 years. I did a few bits to it but lost interest and sold it on

    I assume you mean the cost of the 2000 miles service, which is shown on the top righthand corner of the voucher. The 3000 miles service cost £1-10-0.
