A friend of mine restored one of those many years ago. He let me have a drive of it. He had fully restored the car , the engine, everything. It was a truely HORRIBLE experience. No synchro in any gear. You had to double clutch it, it was just no fun at all. I'd be taking those cogs out and replacing them with something user friendly.
Something at least with synchro mesh.
George you don't know what you are talking about. They are synchro on 2nd and 3rd. and only non synchro on 1st!A friend of mine restored one of those many years ago. He let me have a drive of it.

What is it that you people do not understand about synchro on 2nd and 3rd?George if you can't drive a crash gearbox with ease you need your license endorsed, like the modern auto girlies! NOT HORRIBLE. With practice it becomes easy.
I learned on an ALL gear crash box, and when I was successful the old man reckoned I still couldn't drive properly because there wasn't a manual advance. Needless to say he learned on something not far removed from a horseless carriage.
I thought you were talking about the CX wagon. We really need a gallery of all of your collection, inside the shed and outside please.
NICE LOOKING CAR Shane! Hope you will fix it soon!Oh .... belongs to this.
It's out of my fathers traction. I've been itching to drive this car for about 15years, but it's always had a noise in the gearbox, so we have never been game enough to use it.
