Looks very splendid. (quite a price!) I wonder how they fitted the overdrive and how long it will last if operated on all the intermediate gears!

"Pretentious", more likely fills the description, offered at the RREC do Rockingham Castle in June 2013, the blurb is verbatim the H&H entry.

B191 WG started out as a hydramatic fitted car, and note the early MK VI un-reinforced bell housing, the MK VI exhaust manifolds and single pipe system, presumably to negotiate the pipes around the frame alterations (some say Continental) The steering wheel looks like a Rover type, the fascia is awful.

I had another Donington Special gearbox in last week with the Jonard, remote centre change, note the gate control as a bolt in bracket deep in the gearbox above the selector jaws.



That is, if anyone is interested.
