Another document to add to the Minor archive arrived this morning:
This 1990s parts catalogue is nice to have as I have several Minor Mania special parts fitted to my Minor.
The parts list does itemise the Minor Mania special tuning parts as well as the standard parts.
(Australian version again!) Minor Mania Parts List.

Re: Minor Mania Parts List.

I do not know why it does this sometimes but not always.
No mater how I save the photo it still comes out upside down. There must be a de-fault setting in the programme.

Re: Minor Mania Parts List.
Interesting problem you're having... Are they scans or camera photos?
Meanwhile, I flipped this over for you (eventually). It took me 2 tries.
First time I did it with Windows default image viewer and although it was OK on the Viewer, on here it went upside down again...
I then repeater the turn and save with a different image programme (Arcsoft) and it's stayed the right way around...

Re: Minor Mania Parts List.
I just scanned the front page of the parts list.
Before submitting the picture was alright
but when submitted appeared upside-down.
Tried turning the picture but whatever I did it always ended upside-down.
Many thanks
Phil

Re: Minor Mania Parts List.
Given its Australian, I thought it was intentional.

Re: Minor Mania Parts List.
What makes you think Minor Mania producer of the parts catalogue above is Australian especially as it has a North London telephone number?
Minor Mania were (and what remains of Minor Mania is still possibly) based in Mill Hill North London. Minor Mania started producing Morris Minor modifications way back at about the same time as Grumpy's started making Minor modifications.
The most helpful of Minor Mania modifications IMO was the production of negative camber eye bolts with negative camber adjustment spacers of 2, 3 and 4 degrees. I have a pair with spacers - see photo below. They also produced eye bolt, top trunnion, spring eye bushes and clutch relay shaft bushes in plastic way before the advent of poly bushes. I have NOS examples of all those bushes.
They had a twin rear axle pickup and modified Minor as advertising tools.
They used to have full page adverts in Minor Matters for some considerable time.
You are right in that there is a company in Australia with a similar name - Minor Mania (founded 1995) but as far as I know has no connection with the UK company.

Re: Minor Mania Parts List.
It was the mention of the Australian version I think. I also have the same problem with photos, I haven't found a solution personally,but hey ho.
