It's possible to follow their 1924 route on Google maps - well, nearly. Click each picture for easier reading

It's from about the 3rd printing of "Motor for the Million". A lovely advertising "puff" for the car.

Yes, Publication 306c.
I have 306a which does not carry the article...however my copy shows the listed price of £165 crossed out and written in ink over it " £125 " which I presume was done by the salesman after Austin reduced the price. I nice piece of history.
