    I look at that and see - a Fulvia rear screen! Or something very similar?

    I have recently noticed more than one genuine 6R4 fitted with Jaguar AJ-V6.
    As in, still with all the original 6R4 transmission.

    Ah yes indeed Guy. Rear screen does look familiar.
    I'm glad my own ageing brain remembered the Buick connection. After I posted I doubted myself thinking "was that the 2300 GM engine I was thinking of", reputedly a four cylinder engine being half of a V8, but now I'm thinking that was a Chrysler engine.
    A good series for the tele would be 'Auto family trees'. Similar format to 'Rock family trees'.

    For the purists you can also buy the critical correct Transmission

    I had some laps of Knockhill in one of the original works cars owned by the guy who wrote the computer game Lemmings. Being "hard core" I scoffed when he insisted we both wore noise cancelling headphones but went along with it to be agreeable. 20 mins later and I got out feeling like I'd been in the front row at a heavy metal concert whilst wearing a metal dustbin over my head and simultaneously battered with an anvil. It was pretty intense, harsh and mechanical.

    I've been in one too Jim, for a short while. 'Took it down to scrutineering on the West Cork rally. 'Don't know what it's like after two days?
