One small note, Andy. At least the last 30 (TSF 501-TSF 530) chassis of
the TSF series, which as far as I know were all made into Italias, have
the NON-SYNCHRO gearbox. TSF524 still had it's original gearbox per
BMHIT when we got it, and it's a 3-synchro box. Note: it now has a
TR-6 box with the same OD unit...a previous owner had shattered the case
of the original tranny and had it welded (!!!!) back together...it
lasted about 3,000 miles once I started driving it.
TRuly yours,
