That does not seem like a lot of mileage for this day and age.  I had a 1964
TR4 Triumph.  It had a two speed Rear axle.  It was a four speed, and there
was a lever on the Steering column that would change the ratio in every gear
as you were driving.  From low to high, or high to low.  I was a much
younger man at that time, and was not into gear ratios, but I wonder what
that set up was all about.  Pat
