Does anyone know of a narrow bodied Plus 8, Moss box that might be for sale anywhere ?

Anything considered from a box of bits....to a complete restored car.

Thanks

Thankyou, I rallied a 1966 +4 for some years some I am aware of the vagaries of the gearbox, part of the appeal for me.

I think the Moss box is wonderful to use.
Have had my +4 1959 for 28 years and enjoy to change gears.

My daughter can drive my 61 +4 despite the Moss gearbox. It's a little hard to shift if the 'box gets hot on a summer day, but it's 50 years old and never been rebuilt. My main concern with the Moss box in the +4 is that it only has four gears, which is hard on the old TR3 engine at speeds over 65 mph. That's not a problem with the +8, which can cruise at 80 mph even with the Moss box. Another advantage of the Moss gearbox is that it's pretty small and leaves more room for pedals and feet.
