Driver's Handbook
Each Morris 850 was supplied with a Driver's Handbook when new. Initially the handbook was an English sourced item, based on the cars sold in the home market. A partnering Passport to Service booklet was also issued, however these were locally made and specific to the Morris 850.
In later years the Driver's Handbook and Passport to Service were combined in the one volume, common to all local models available at the time.
