This manual provides comprehensive workshop service and repair information for the BMC 1100 Mark I and Mark II, along with the BMC 1300 Kestrel models. Produced between 1962 and the mid-1970s, these vehicles were known for their pioneering front-wheel-drive layout, transverse engine configuration, and, in some variants, the innovative hydrolastic suspension system. They offered a practical and comfortable driving experience for their era, competing with other popular compact cars. This guide covers vehicles equipped with 1098cc (engine codes 10AMW, 10GR, 10V, 10AG) and 1274-1286cc (engine codes 12G, 12H) four-cylinder engines.
