Warning: The guy (his name is Ian Priestly) who posted item
#320291783487 is a crook. I bought 2 A-types from him years ago. He
said they had been rebuilt but they were both POS. One had bits of
dog food inside, the other was little more than recyclable
Aluminum. It took him over 4 months to ship them to me; he gave one
excuse right after another, each of which seemed plausible. Since I
really wanted them, I ignored the alarm bells. By the time they
finally arrived, it was too late for ebay to do anything. And I made
the mistake of sending him a check, so I was screwed. I know of a
fellow Lister who bought a J-type which was also a POS.
this isn't the first time I've heard about this guy -
so why is his feedback still 100% positive?
Cheers,

I bought a TR4 tranny and overdrive from a well known supplier of used TR
parts in California at Triumphest a few years ago. He insisted it worked just
fine, no need to rebuild it etc. and even claimed HE had personally driven
the vehicle and it worked just great. I paid a very good price for it based on
his word.
When it arrived, the tranny and OD had been separated for some reasons. The
solenoid mountingplate had been broken and rewelded (not that way at the
show).
Because I had such a hard time getting a straight story or replacement parts
, I had it disassembled and rebuilt. The rebuilder noted that whoever was in
it the last time had incorrectly safety wired some of the bolts and had
routed the wiring in such a way that it prevented the accumulator from working.
The od could have NEVER worked as the seller stated.
