Type 4 Gearbox ident/valuation

Post by purplepeter » 11th January 2011 - 10:30pm

Please can someone put a name/ident to these 2 variations of gearbox?
Different clutch slave positions
If you could suggest a valuation too that would help confirm what i've got in mind

Hi Peter

They both look like Type 4 to me.
The top one with the white mark on it is an early 1969 and the other with slave cylinder built in is a later 1971 on.
Variant model has a higher 4th gear ratio than saloon but I dont know which these are by the pictures.
As for value anything up to £250 on ebay.
Hope tis is right

I think the ebay ones are a tad over priced as I paid £50 for one from Volksfarmers. In fact quite a bit of the Type 4 on ebay is overpriced in my opinion :roll:

Yes, when there's a limited supply, it makes commercial sense to try for the highest price you can. You can only sell it once! However, I'd much rather not feel I was ripping people off.
