John Dolan - Wirral & North Wales AO Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Pete has three boxes, condition unknown. He's in Gloucester, I'm on the Wirral. Would prefer a box with known history. And a bit closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Thorne Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 There are a couple of reconditioned ex military R380's on the Witham Specialist Vehicles site that might be worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6carjon Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I checked the pistonheads TVR forum but nothing showing there - might be worth a post as lots of these come from Griffiths and Chims etc. Just post an ask on their forum. You could convert to a T5 they are a nicer box overall if you can engineer it to fit. Mine does. Cheers Jon Cheers Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dolan - Wirral & North Wales AO Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 First choice - T5 - mega expensive, hard to find. Second choice - R380 - nice, but not from a Land Rover as the conversion to 2wd is prohibitively expensive. Third choice - LT77 - not quite as nice, weaker synchros and lots of variations. Another possibility is the RX8 6 speed box, plenty about and they are (relatively) cheap. Needs an adaptor plate to mate the Mazda bell housing to the Rover engine. Not as silly as it first sounds. Propshaft might be the problem. Anyone done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
