Posted - 27 Jul 2020 : 16:32:25 Just seen a rapier on ebay that looks like it has a different gearbox fitted? looks like a triumph one if i'm not mistaken. Does anyone know if a triumph gearbox fits? or has he maybe just used the triumph lever. eBay item number:124273737985

I saw the ebay listing and in my opinion he has used a Triumph o/drive switch on the gear lever knob. You'll notice someone has blanked off the indicator lever and probably moved that to the right hand side of the column where the o/drive switch is normally located. This is originally an early SIV model without synchro on 1st gear. So my inserting a SV 1725 engine they have gained an all-syncro g/box. There has been loads of other mods on this car.
