[TR] use of overdrive

[Joe Curry]

In terms of today's money, That $85.00 could be multiplied by 10.  So $850
was substantial.

My OD  
was scavenged from a 1971 rust bucket TR6 but it is a  banger not a  
slurrer so maybe it was still in the parts bin from the  early ODs when  
the rust bucket was built.


Hey Bud,
Not one of the OD gearboxes I mentioned are original to my  Triumphs.  I 
converted all of them from regular 4 gear boxes.  So my  cars would not 
reflect when the A-Type Bangers were replaced by the Slurrers.  Which brings
me to 
ask a question:  Why did any fool buy a new  Triumph w/o OD?  They were 
like an $85.00 option.  What a shame they  were not all built with OD.
