[Healeys] Anyone else have a non-overdrive tranny on their BJ8?

[Jim Culp]

My semi- odd '67 BJ8 came with non-adjustable steering wheel and a four speed
non-overdrive transmission.  I'm curious about a couple of things:

1.  Why were so few cars equipped with the four speed non o/d?
2.  I wonder why the original owner saw fit to order the car that way- any
advantages over the o/d version

Thanks all.
