Message-ID: <78focd$61mub7@ip03.eastlink.ca>

   Hi,
   As  many  of  you  know,  I  am into the Talbot Alpines but acquired a
   Series  gearbox  with the date 22 6 66 on the casting so it is a later
   car. Does this have synchromesh 1st gear?
   Other casting numbers are:
   1981060
   3DA21055
   On the back side stamped into the casting:
   8325
   15
   Thanks,
   Bob

Good day ~

My name is Cyndie.  I lost my husband on January 1 of this year.  He owned (
and now they are mine) two sunbeams.  I have title to these "gems".

They are: a 1962 sunbeam RD (roadster?) and a 1969 sunbeam 2H ?  They are
located in Central Oregon currently and need to be "moved" in the near.

1)  The sportscar is a total restore item.  The engine is there, but a
complete interior kit would be needed.  It has been in the weather, but i
believe it could be worthwhile for a "hobby" restorer.

2)  The coupe was in running condition in 1980-81, but "put out to pasture"
soon after.  It was my husband's car when we were dating.

I have no idea if these items have significant value or not, but I would like
to research this.  It would be my preference to see that they find a new home,
rather than be sold for scrap.  If anyone out there has any information for me
or tips on how to market them, please contact me.

Thank you for your interest.

   Hello again,
   Thanks  for  all the response to my Series gearbox question and I have
   determined it is an all synchro unit, reverse "lump" on the casting is
   on the front left and the reverse shifter position is to the right and
   back.  Now  to  see if the input shafts can be exchanged easily to fit
   the Sunbeam Talbot cars.
   Thanks again,
   Bob
