Drivers Handbook or Operation Manual?

[Mr Spigot]

I am looking for an original handbook/manual for a 1952 MM and have come across both 'Driver's Handbooks' and 'Operation Manuals'. Are these the same thing? If so which edition would be suitable? I already have the BMC workshop manual which covers most things, as well as a comprehensive parts list.

This is the sort of handbook you need. Plenty to be found on eBay at different prices. You will be able to find a 1952 version but there's not much difference between that and 1950/51/53 versions.

Thanks, yes I have seen those and will probably keep an eye out for a reasonably priced one. I just wondered if there was any difference between the Operation Manual and a Driver's Handbook, or are they the same thing?

They're essentially the same thing. Early books seem to be called operation manuals whereas later books for Morris 1000's were drivers handbooks.
