An overdrive gearbox was an option on Amazons and came as standard on the souped-up 123GT. KGA doesn't have one, but it would make motorway driving a smoother experience.
For the uninitiated, overdrive was the sixties' answer to fifth gear. But a bit cleverer, so it could usually be engaged in third or fourth gear, to ratchet things up to an equivalent of 3½ or 4½ and take some strain off the engine.
Hopefully it won't be too hard to find a box with an overdrive unit. The plan is to get hold of one, get it reconditioned, then fit it and replace the clutch while I'm at it.
Not in the near future though.
