I've just bought a house in East Devon and in the garage is a 144 that has not been used for quite some time, I haven't had a good look at it yet, so have no further details, but will post details on here as soon as I have some more myself.

Ok, so I had a quick look, its a little buried in years of household stuff, but its G reg and the overdrive model. Photo attached should give you some idea of what I'm unearthing.

I would be interested in this when its for sale to go with my 145!

I'd love an overdrive 'box in my '71 145 one day, to save fuel on my daily commute.
If you find that your 144 find is too far gone, can I ask that you keep me in mind should you consider just selling the transmission or even the powertrain (engine, trans, prop)?
Fantastic find and thanks for posting for all the forum.

What does everyone think about me getting a new registration document in my name? Is that going to be a help or hinderance for people?
Thanks Thomas

a car without V5 is "" worthless""

because ownership is unidentified.

get a V5 in your name and the car gets value./

V5 isn't an ownership document, it merely tells you who the registered keeper is.
