    Original gearbox of 300090

    Hi all,
    As you know we are lucky to have the original 300090 gearbox.
    While scanning the photos, I found a date on the gearbox.

    I guess 30 is the number of the week of the year.
    This would mean that the gearbox was manufactured between July 20 and 26, 1964.
    Just a month before the start of the production.

    Philippe, 30/64 is the date of the housing being cast.
    Also, the axle flanges of your transmission have been updated for Löbro CV joints.

    Hi all,
    As indicated in our first post, Kobus Cantraine inspected the car.

    Yes: we have to replace (among other things) the latch support panel and the shock towers!

    Interesting that there is a raised area assumedly for the VIN stamp that was not utilized.
