Mine was printed 5/58, 3 months before my car was built. I guess every
time there was a revision, BMC sent out just the revised pages to the
shops with a different issue number on the bottom. Many of the pages
have no issue number so I'm guessing that these are the originals. I
found pages with issue numbers running up to issue 7 possibly indicating
that many revisions.
