I love being able to use 2nd, 3rd and 4th overdrive. Flicking between
3rd and 3rd overdrive on twisty hilly roads is great!

I love that. My wife has a newer sports car and I much prefer to drive my old Triumph (except the air bags part) I know it’s not everyones experience, but I bought my O/D on eBay over 20 years ago and it and the transmission have been 100% reliable - of course everything around them has been rebuilt over time…
