Well done, Terry!! I think you will find that the White Scout Car is a much easier vehicle to drive. I have owned both as well as a Saracen and a Ford Lynx and the WSC if my favourite drive. In fact we have had chassis no.266617 on the road since 1986 and driven all over eastern Australia to the extent of more than 100,00km. We have worn out one engine, a gearbox and rebuilt both front and rear diffs after failures.
You might find that going back from 4th back to 3rd is a problem if you pull it through without a slight movement of about 1/4 inch to the left in neutral.(The opposite movement to the right from 3rd to 4th is also sometimes needed.) I have driven many and all need that slight left movement.
Regards Rick
