Ok- now I'm curious. Someone has a listing for an AUTOMATIC transmission for a 65 Spit on ebay (#1803972763). I've seen auto trannies mentioned briefly in a couple of Triumph books, but no real info

I think, I would be truly embarrassed being seen driving a spit with an tranny, especially being a woman. I could just hear the snickering behind my back. No thanks. Am I right here, Laura G..? Liv 6

It's a 3-rail tranny with a D-type overdrive. The shifter lever is missing, which is not good. Even more surprising is that he can ship it via USPS, even though it is in England.. Doug Braun '72 Spit

I don't drive a stick, started driving about 2 years ago. I would love to be able to drive a Spitfire that has an automatic. We have seen a few at shows and on ebay before so I know it's possible. I

Were there ever any Herald or Dolomite auto trans? That would seem the easiest swap mechanically, though parts and reliability might be dodgy. Otherwise, there are a wealth of used auto trans in the

TR2000 sedans came with automatics. Parted out one once and it looked like a bolt-on for any of the 2 or 2.5 litre blocks. -Maurice /// spitfires@autox.team.net mailing list /// or try http://www.tea

I was actually referring to the 6cyl 2 litre blocks, but you could cobble up a rear engine plate for the 4cyl engines. -Maurice /// spitfires@autox.team.net mailing list /// or try http://www.team.ne

Carter, I do remember that being an option, although we never had one on any of our 1500's. Definitely on the Dolomite 1850 and Sprint - much more popular on those car due to them having more power.

The Dolomite 1500 was produced in reasonable numbers as an auto, so it shouldn't be difficult to track down the mechanical bits. From what was previously discussed on the Herald list, some cutting ar
