The eBay four speeder went for £410. I bet it went to a VSCC member to put in their M Type.
4 speed boxes.

I think Tony Gamble and Simon Hodgins were there, but I'm not sure what they picked up.

Speeding down to Purley this morning at 40-45mph thinking this is the life when suddenly the minor stopped dead in 10 yards!!!. Engine running but smoke coming through the carpets over the gearbox. The minor could not be pushed - something locked solid. Help came and we bumped and pushed and lifted the minor off the road. Carpet and gearbox covers removed to see the nose from gearbox to propshaft Bearing cover was red hot abd gears and propshaft woulod not move. RAC came out and got me home. Gearbox out of car but the nose (rear of gearbox) only moves quarter of an inch so bearing must be seized mon shaft - any ideas how to remove this end plate? I have done it dozens of time and it should be no problem. Plenty of oil in the gearbox. My £50 4 speed box has some small items missing so I need this gearbox splitn to make up one good one. Happy Motoring!!!! Alister Highlander Reid.
