I've a 1981 2 Door RRC that has the Borg Warner 35 (3 speed) gearbox that was fitted as an option by Winterbottom Fauls here in Perth
for a cocky ...this I believe was prior to them becoming a standard feature later in 81 when the 4 door RRC was released.
My Rangie has a automatic badge on the tailgate (factory fitted) ... having an auto was a big thing back then.
At the time of its press release the write up did say the auto was (beefed up) but I'm unsure what that means in actual term but the auto lost nothing
in speed to the manual off the quarter mile ....
For me the auto is excellent around town .... maybe I'm getting lazy but she could do with an extra gear when you have the rubber band wound at anything over 80 Klms.
I'll post a photo of the badge and auto stick to see if your is similar when I get home.
Any Classic Rangie (even if it has the auto) is worth keeping ...... someone in Perth was selling one several months back which while reasonable on the outside ... it looked resprayed to me
(from the photo) but the advert said it was original .... unfortunately the interior, under the bonnet, tailgate section didn't reflect the same as the outside ..... they had 26K on it .... crazy.
The advert disappeared off gumtree and I haven't seen it surface since.
Cheers

Yes, there's always someone trying it on. As far as I can tell, they've still got to be original overall to be worth something, no doubt because so many have been hacked up.
At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.
