Unfortunately a rover box won't fit as Saic modified the subframe, starter position and  gearbox mounts cos they couldn't get the rights to the PG1 box.

The box in an mg6 is a Chinese copy of a 5 speed Toyota box from the 80's, made out of finest chinesium by Shanghai Automotive Gearworks. It usually shits out 3rd gear first and the rest follow suit shortly afterwards... Or if you're really unlucky the synchros go first, then it strips gears.

  Not helped by the fact that there was a quality control* issue at Longbridge resulting in a lot of them not being filled with oil at assembly.

The gearbox is the sole reason that the engine was detuned from 180hp to 160hp- it stripped the cogs for fun at full power.

One enterprising (read fucking insane) individual converted his 6 to automatic from a donor ZT, but it takes some pretty impressive bodgery to get the ECU to talk Chinese. 

Theres a NOS box on the bay for £500 for the terminally brave, or you could play gearbox roulette on the scrap market... Otherwise AliExpress and searching for Roewe 550 will be your only option. 

Suffice to say, I got pissed off with the constant repairs on mine and bought a nice, reliable Fiat instead!

Misery spec 530d. It's just a shame it doesn't have wheel trims.  It looks like a good one actually

I think that interior might be out of a facelift E39 the cloth early interiors are more velour.

I think these are Fabric "Rattan" seats, which are one step up from the basic cloth interior. I had them as sport seats in my '96 originally.

Jeez. I thought that was cheap before, but that's just nuts. So much car for the money and looks like a really simple tidy-up and drive project. I'm sure it's a shit car, but I'd deffo daily that

$3200

75 Monte Carlo, Custom Cloud, Rolls Royce conversion. Restoration or custom project. This is a 1975 production kit
installed by the manufacturer in 1974-75. If you're not familiar with these, search "Custom Cloud" online for the history and details. Trunk lid and 1/4s are overlays bonded on, nose is fiberglass.  

This is a base Monte Carlo with power steering, brakes, and a/c. No power windows, locks, seat, or tilt column. Some one shaved the doors, but I have the removed parts. I think that's why the windows are out, so you can open the doors.

Windows and all related parts are there. No motor, trans or radiator. Only body damage is the right door from over opening, shown. and without windows the rear floors rusty. Trunk trough rusted, replacement part included. all 4 turbine hubcaps too.
Selling as I have too many projects and I'm old and retired. No energy and no time left!!?? Clean notarized AZ title.
