The door panels and the seats.... 😞 looks like the door seals are to thick to, bet it's a slammer

Maybe because it's been at Jays Garage it's now worth big bucks 😜

Later type B 5 speed ...

I have the 71 A rebuilded now, complete with the driveshaft and 3.90 diff going in next year, and have a spare 71 A to, so how rare are these then ?

71a 5 speed box? They are getting harder to find, but it's more the internal components that are tricky to source these days, things like synchros etc.. and to fix the gear lever slop is a bit of machine work etc.. to make they feel as new.

yeah the 5 speed. Well I searched the whole internet couldn't find anything, few synchros maybe big bucks, rest is all gone. I found a shop in Australia that has lots of spare parts for it. But then I found a second 71 A by real luck, from a z garage here in the netherlands. The guy sadly passed, I was just in time, he was clearing up his shop everything was for sale.

Lucky, we also got the 5 speed 71A in the Fairlady Roadsters here, but the bell housing is different (starter motor on different sides). But as mentioned, many people moved away to 71B boxes and so 71A boxes were kind of discarded or put away. So they do come up for sale from time to time, just getting harder to find bit to service them etc..

This "seems" like it would be a reasonable buy - if you are close it might be worth taking a look.

Third time it's been listed on eBay. Looks like a great car.
