Yeah, gearbox in the rear and a "torque tube" enclosing the drive-shaft. Having the engine at the front and gearbox at the rear gave pretty good weight distribution.

Some of those lists and photos are very impressive! Although some of you folks must be pretty damn old, so i'll take some comfort from that :hahaha:

I've lost interest in road cars for the mo, so currently i'm in a Smart! These two are my passion at the moment.





Prior to the CSL i've had a VX220, a couple of Clios and a Mini Cooper!
