Hewland 5-speed Gearbox

"The 5-speed gearbox I had came out of a group 4 Anglia, of which Tony Ingle had a part of. I ran it once, it seemed very quick, however, my motors put out quite a bit of torque, and after talking it over with Tony, Tom Smith, and Dave Bean, we thought I should pull the box before it was broken, and get it into a car that had a lot less power, and with narrow tires. Eventually I found some one over in Germany that had a one-off car (name of which escapes me), That was worth more than we are worth, and that's where it ended up. I've lost contact with that fellow. I'm looking though old pictures- I know I have some, but have not found them yet."
