Welcome to the forum!

Check the parts for sale section,
Petespops is also selling an overdrive box...


'68 Sunbeam Rapier fastback {B341006846 OD/LHO}
'73 Sunbeam Rapier fastback {AAD 781863 }
I like a car that looks normal but really knocks your socks off!!

Hi Daniel, I have an overdrive box with switch and wiring, 2 piece prop, gear lever and all clutch hydraulics, flywheel etc. All from a 1970 car.
I am in Orpington, Kent (the spares are in SE London for collection)

Hello Petespops,
This does sound very interesting. Can you tell me if there were any differences in gear ratios between various 1725 models or were they all the same. I may have access to a 1976 Sceptre gearbox which I have read has closer ratios. Thanks,

Daniel

Not 100% sure on ratios, think the H120 has closer ratios.

I'm sure others more knowledgeable on here can tell you the answer.

The O/D box came out of a 1970 fastback.
