Hi Petemick and H14,
Just picked up your replies.
Thanks very much for the information. Very interesting.
I had no idea W.O actually fitted a Cotal gearbox before the war. It will make the car fantastic to drive I am sure. What size is it as a matter of interest ? I believe that the Mark 35 was the largest used by Delahaye for the road although the Mark 38 was used for racing.
I recently chased up a Cotal gearbox fitted to a postwar Lagonda which the owner did not intend to use. It was very different to the pre war ones and I think it was designed by Cotal specifically for the Lagonda. I turned it down when I realised that it had no reverse gear as that was in the back axle ! However it was beautifully made and appeared very robust.
