I have .pdf manual which is a straight copy of the BMC version. I bought it
over here (UK) on UK eBay. I doubt it's unique to the UK however. The car in
the manual is RHD throughout, but I don't know if BMC did a LHD version?? (I
suppose they'd have needed 2 chapters on getting near the carbs with the
steering column in the way?).
I've copied it onto my hard disc and have the shortcut icon on my desktop,
so it's very convenient. You can, of course, enlarge and print from it so
you can take the appropriate material under the car.....
It's got a "security" code or whatever it's called, so you cannot cut and
paste bits into or out of it, which is a bit of a bore. In fact, I did ask
the vendor for the password and he said he'd try and find it. Does anyone
have it?
I can't recall what it cost, so it must have been pretty cheap!

My workshop manual on CD was produced by Haynes so no copywrite problems
there.

Aren't there copyright concerns on these, especially with Haynes as
they are still in business.
I could scan the entire factory manual to pd with the copier I have
at the office if copyrights aren't and issue.
