As I thought, an expensive toy with no provenance, but visually appealing and I'll bet a lot of fun (and I imagine quite difficult) to drive.
I'm a little surprised that it managed to retain its 19 ... |

| A curious replica of something, striking but certainly not a "Blower Bentley". Manufactured in 1953 and first registered in 1991 (and currently untaxed). Bet it's fun to drive though! |

| They're probably not necessary on a decatted vehicle but certainly do no harm, and do tend to obfuscate the lack of cat. Catalytic converters do run extremely hot. |

Yes, that is non-standard, and you also don't seem to have the standard giant silencer alongside the transfer box.
Worth keeping the shields if you can, since they tend to camouflage the fact that ... |

| It looks to me as though a previous owner has removed the catalytic converter and fitted a decat pipe instead. As far as I recall the two setscrews should fit into brackets on the cat. |

With lockers the TC will fight the locked diff in extreme circumstances lead to a snapped shaft, blown CV.

I did wonder if this from Amazon would work, essentially similar to the SP tool but less than a tenth of the cost.

| IT's not unusual for the MT82 to get stuck in gear, but it is usually first and is caused by a deficiency in the detent devices on the 1/2 select shaft. I've not hear of one getting stuck in third tho ... |

On the ground, no crane but using a transmission trolley jack.
Thanks, that's what I was thinking to. Did you have the car on jack stands?
No, on its wheels, but you have to raise it to get the MT ... |
