MG MGB Technical - Overdrive Tranny for 1969

What is a reasonable price for a overdrive tranny? The seller said it was reconditioned/rebuilt. He is asking $1500.00. I believe it was from a 1968 B.
A friend wants to install it in his 69, would there be complications?

Crikey! It would be cheaper to fly to the UK and take one back as hand luggage!

Mk1 cars used different speedos for OD and non-OD, Mk2 and later used the same for both. Shouldn't be any differences between 68 and 69.

Ray - Has you friend checked with Brooklands British in Tacoma? Matt may have one on hand or know where one is available. The other alternative would be Octarine in Enland http://www.octarine-services.co.uk/ I don't recall what he is asking for the boxes, but as Paul points out, it couldn't be much more and the rebuild would have been done by a professional.
