Car is currently on a 4 synchro box but correct box is available if price is met. I enjoy restoring cars, always wanted the rarest of the rare a 970s. I enjoyed building and tackling the many challenges to build a classic mini with a few updates ( ignition, 4 syncro box, Hi Los and Japanese maintenance free ball joints). More mature years mean I now realise time has come to let someone else enjoy this classic Mini .
