- AustinMotorCo publications were not generally dated until 1927. Some dates are guesstimates from contents.
- The publication numbers should be in sequence… but not always. Some are copies, most are originals.
- This is probably only half of AMCo output, many are in the NMM library at Beaulieu, some are at BMH Gaydon.
