My father's first car was a 1950 Vauxhall Velox, but when he bought it in around 1960 the gearbox didn't work properly. No problem, he thought, as it was a breakers yard not far from where he lived. And they had a similar Velox with a good 'box. However, when he lay under the car and was dismounting the gearbox with the bellhouse, a sheet metal, which had been mounted between the engine and the bellhouse, fell down and nearly beheaded him. Had it done so, I wouldn't have been born. -- Last edit: 2021-12-08 14:28:08
