I'm surprised that nobody mentioned the fact that many owners in the US have
added the overdrive from a junked Triumph to a car that didn't have one
before. I know several who have done that, and have seen more on the list.
Of course, you then must add "-O" to the Commission Number to be authentic.
I'm sure that accounted for some of them on the Register. The overdrive was
a pricy option at the time, and many who were in college or newly married
just couldn't afford it.
