Hi there,



I´m Daniel from Munich/Germany and I`m new to this forum. I just bought a 63 F-85 4-door sedan without engine and transmission, the rest of the car is nearly complete but naturally not in best condition.

I already read many of the discussions on engine swaps, so I decided, if I will not resell the car anyway, to keep things original. It has the shifter for the 3speed tranny on the steering column.

The Rover engines are not so difficult to get here in Germany but I don`t know anything about the matching transmission. Can anybody give me the right type/manufacturer of the 3speed manual transmission used in these cars?

Are there any other transmissions from Rover or something else that fit without changing the driveshaft?



I have another question concerning the VIN. I have only a small metal plate with the VIN information. Was the VIN also stamped somewhere in the sheetmetal of the body?



Thanks to everybody giving me some information!



Greetings from Southern Germany,



Daniel

Hey, I don't have any answers to your questions because I don't have the car in my possession yet, but I wanted to say hello and I also have a 1963 F-85 4 door. Nice to find someone else who owns one!
