Gearbox parts - help!
Parts help needed. Classic second gear problems. Seeking #18 (yoke - second and third shifter) and #63 (counter gear). Would prefer to not have to buy an entire gearbox! Please msg if you can help. The yellow wagon doesn't want to live with the mechanic all the time! Thanks, Jason

One 'thumbprint' wheel trim
One of my thumbprint wheel trims met its untimely demise under a Volvo. The other three are in superb condition so I'm trying to match with a replacement before resorting to repairs. Please ping me with deals or ideas.

Re: IDing production date?

A previous owner gathered a lot of information and the car was sold in Tasmania on 1 December 1960. I don't have a final production date - can anyone help get me close, even to the ...
