[TR] Overdrive in a TR6

[DAVID MASSEY]

 The CC cars all had A-type.  I fitted a J-type to a 71 but only with some considerable improvisation.  Certainly not kosher.

Apparently it comes “with the rare factory overdrive option”.  It is a 1970 car, vin CC 55,000 (ish)  Is this likely to be an A-type or a J-type?  I know the difference to look at the respective overdrives, but the car is lying in a yard, I probably can’t get under it, and the transmission tunnel looks from the photos to be intact.  I’d like to know before making an offer for the car.  Any suggestions?
