I have acquired an ENV 75 preselective gearbox with the code LR.
This code is not mentioned in the 2013 register publication.
Does anyone know which car manufacturer used this code?

Hi Jos

There is reference to ENV75 stamping of letters in M Green's book M.G. Road Cars Volume two the 6 cylinder cars.

The FG prefix was used on all production MGs, including K3s, Q and R types were fitted with either Q or QH prefixes. Other stamping a mentioned are M and R for Riley's, LT in Lagonda and CX in Crossley. There is no reference to LR.

Manfred,
your top picture shows just a WG (Wilson Gears) casting No. on a lid.

Your bottom photo shows the date of manufacture at the rear of the main gearbox cover, and obviously is the 20th of January 1933.

The gearbox code to identify the box is on top of the main cover.(see sample on a ex Riley box below)

Thanks Gerhard for this information.

At the time is the Box for rebuild near Hamburg. I have only the following picture here:





The seller say me, that the box was in a prewar-Aston-Martin?

Hi Jos

I am grateful to Gerhard for providing information on your ENV parts.

As Gerhard has indicated the stamping for the identity is on the top lid of the box.

Hi George,

It is indeed very kind of Gerhard to answer the question of Manfred and providing information on his ENV parts.(not mine)

I have been informed that the code LR means low ratio and possibly added later as it is in a smaller letter type and following the box number i.s.o. preceding it.

So that answers my question.Thanks for your input.



Regards



Jos
