Now THAT is interesting: -

The gearbox on my 1930 car has the oil filler plug on the NEARSIDE and also has the (non-working) remains of a Humphrey Sandberg freewheel unit fitted at the rear, which of course means a shorter prop shaft.

Could this mean that my gearbox is not the original for this car?

Comments on a postcard please to . . .
The devil is in the detail!
