How many miles has it done? What year car was it taken out of?

Price? Be reasonable - im reasonably skint and need to take into account the cost of collection.

FIRST DIBS BY THE WAY!

Don't forget to make sure it is one with the speedo cable drive!

Wouldn't mind this myself. Does anybody know a cheap courier that would bring this up to Scotland?

Cheers

There is this one as well on ebay but from a 940. Don't know the seller or anything regarding the condition of the gearbox.

dont forget the related parts are needed , axle flange , propshaft , and maybe crossmember , With the OD gearbox the axle ratio was usualy lower..
if you add the box with the original axle OD will be a higher extra gear , great for cruising but less torque when you come to hills , but so easy to flick the switch and drop back to 4th that it isnt a problem .

I converted dads 1973 144 S to OD also fitted a 340 1.7 5 speed gearbox to our 1400 343 that works quite well , quiet cruising but not a lot of pull in 5th ...ideal ratios for a bit of turbo boost now !
