Just looked up that NOVA reversing box, very nice: http://www.novaracing.co.uk/ProductHonda...arbox.html
Just finished the new Adrian Newey book. His road car project has an electric motor to use as a starter, reverse, power generation, for stealth mode in town and "hybrid", in particular to get it rolling given the size and weight of the clutch and lack of flywheel weight. Reminded me of prewar "dynastarts". Google threw up some modern ones, some for boats, and reminded me they were a microcar thing. (Also enjoyed the Lawrie Bond book recently).
Here's a link on an "off the shelf" (as much as these things ever are) reversing motor with options for chain drive and propshafts: http://www.lynxae.co.uk/Products-Bikesports.htm
