Is this ok for my mini and is it a reasonable price?

It is sutable for a mini yes. But for me it is a bit expensive. You can buy a full SC gearset from minispares for £300. As the gearbox for sale there is over £300 and needs a rebuild you would be better off buying a new gear set and getting an old box rebuilt. It will be cheeper and you will know what you have is good.

remmber thats a majic wond type box.

Not quite, its a remote type box as fitted between the magic wand and rod change type boxes.

Whats a magic wand type box?

The box fitted to all none cooper Mk1s, gear lever came through base of front bulk head ..... had to be a magician to find 1st hence the nick name!!!

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

majic wand = gear lever goes straight into the box (pretty much)

Remote = gear lever goes into an ally casting that comes out of the back of teh box and runs under the car.

rod change = gear lever goes down into a box which has 2 rod's comeing out of it, these 2 rods then go to the gearbox. the rod's are exposed from underneath the car.

the gearbox on ebay is a "remote" type.
