In terms of today's money, That $85.00 could be multiplied by 10. So $850
was substantial.

was scavenged from a 1971 rust bucket TR6 but it is a banger not a

Hey Bud,
Not one of the OD gearboxes I mentioned are original to my Triumphs. I
converted all of them from regular 4 gear boxes. So my cars would not
reflect when the A-Type Bangers were replaced by the Slurrers. Which brings
me to
ask a question: Why did any fool buy a new Triumph w/o OD? They were
like an $85.00 option. What a shame they were not all built with OD.
