There always seems to be discussion on tranny ratios. Thought I'd throw in  
what Rootes used in another one of their cars.
 
1st  3.17:1
2nd  2.04:1
3rd   1.44:1
4th    1.00:1
 
Car weight   2,954
 
Max. power  90 bhp
 
Car  "Sunbeam 3 litre", 1920ish to 1926ish.
 
When you look at the numbers, not a huge difference from the 1960's  
Alpine.  I would suspect the listed weight of the 3 litre might not be  correct.
