Rocket88 Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 Not one of BL's greatest marketing triumphs.........a bit of an automotive dead end, bit like the Austin 3 litre, although a far more cohesive looking design......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulplom Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Looks lovely. That underside is a dream. I find most cars on this forum are massively under described. You read the write up condemning it and expect a total shed, but the pictures afterwards always seem to be of a minter. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket88 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 No, standard PAS box, which [typically] is a vastly over complicated box of gears , cams, seals, and other witchcraft, which apparently only three octogenarians in the known universe understand how to rebuild..........same box as in Rover p5, and, as you say, some A90/110 Farinas UltraWomble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
