A fellow MG enthusiast who was cleaning out his
garage and discovered a three speed Morris (apparently Minor) gearbox.
It could be had at little or no cost (perhaps a bottle of wine); merely
the cost of shipping which would, I guess, make it of most interest to NZ
members.  If someone further afield is interested in the gears only I
could probably arrange to disassemble it.  I have not inspected it so
can't give a report as to its condition.
