"Building Cars In Australia", BMC-Leyland Australia Heritage Group, Halstead Press. A must-have book written by the people who worked at the BMC factory in Sydney. Many interesting pictures and chapters on the Victoria Park, Zetland plant.
"The Book of the BLMC 1800", Staton Abbey, Pitman Publishing. This is somewhat unusual for this style of book since it seems the author has done more than just regurgitate the workshop manual. There are some real gems of information in there. Mr Abbey has obviously had much experience with BMC cars.
"Handbook for the BMC 1800", P. Olyslager, Nelson. This book is condensed version of the workshop manual. Handy reference with specifications for most mechanical jobs.
