As the owner of two 2000's (one of which is slowly coming BACK from mulch, see
http://2000estate.blogspot.com), I have what's left of one BW35 (never tried it
in a car but the flex plate is bad, typical fault, Rimmer sells a reinforcement
plate) and torque converter needs rebuilding (two tangs meant to engage tranny
are broken, speedo drive has been cannibalized) that anyone is welcome to free
for the shipping. Let me know...

We sold about 1700-2000 of them 1964-68, nationwide. Most of them have long
since turned to mulch.
RE Sports Six, we had a test car with the BW 35 that could barely beat a
Herald.
