Three speed box - changing position of first gear...
#27
Ford 8 and 10 models were 3 speed until the early 1960's. They employed a LH Down 1st gear arrangement exclusively. I believe Morris were the same for most of their three speed models models, so it seems Austin were just moving into compliance with the market in 1929. Which makes it even stranger that the positions reverted in 1930. Perhaps it was customer feedback?

I've driven 3 speed Austin Sevens for 35 years and would be completely fooled if I had a 1930 "reverse" change box!
