[V8] $59000....nope

[Roger M. Woodbury]

My '61 Triumph TR3A when I was an undergraduate.  My best friend next door
had a '64 Triumph TR4.  Sunday's were reserved for tinkering by the side of
the road with the two British Racing Green cars.  

I got pretty good with SU carburetors and all sort of other things.  I
managed at some point to take apart the electric switch that engaged the
overdrive.  When it all got back together...and I have NO idea what
happened, I managed to get eight speeds out of the transmission...

Not that it mattered really, but I could get an overdrive in each of the
four forward speeds. 

To this day, I have NO idea how that happened.

Roger

I have a transmission out of one somewhere out of some English car.  I
can't remember what I pulled it out of, but it's a tractor transmission,
literally, all they did was slap it in the car with a bolted piece of
steel over reduced 1st gear, so 2nd tractor gear becomes...ta da....1st
motor carriage gear.  R&D, what's that, a pub in Brighton?
