• but then i don't get to butcher the car for parts and get my money back :P

    It's not like the old days. Used SD1 parts are now virtually worthless as you can buy almost everything to make a brand new one from Rimmer Bros pretty cheap. Back in the late 80s Rover sent over thousands of CKD kits to an Indian factory so they could build them over there. The venture failed very quickly and it was all assumed lost. A couple of years ago an email from India resulted in Rimmers buying it all and shipping it back here.

    i may have found an engine/box out of a rangey. price? the spare 4-speed overdrive mgb 'box i have sitting in my garage! not confirmed, but i hope so.

    I would guess that you can pick up the bits to replace the transfer box with a rear drive housing pretty easily. The strongest (rear drive) boxes apparently went in Sherpas (diesel or V8) and Jaguars (XJ6 series 3).
