Been wanting a real classic car for a while, and I've been offered a Vauxhall Magnum 2300 for a few hundred quid. Took it for a drive, and tries out its 4-speed overdrive gearbox, basically it's a normal 4-speed, but you flick a switch on the gear knob and 3rd and 4th become 30% higher for cruising. Seems like the best of both worlds, close ratio box with a high cruising gear at the flick of the switch?
