December 2009 Update:

The converter would have been seen in the USA in the 1300cc Austin America. The transmission was a four speed unit that had a common oil source with the engine. Engine sizes ranged from 850ccc through to the 1275cc.

In the 1970s, the converter would have been referred to as a British Leyland Mini, or Austin Mini.

Congratulations to both Peter Cifuentes of the Converter Man, Ltd., and Mark Burrell of JP Automatic Transmission, Ltd, for correctly identifying last month’s mystery converter.

TCRA members and friends, we find it difficult to report our former President, Ken Cluck, has become seriously ill over the past several months. While we cannot report in full detail the extent or cause of his illness, we are asking everyone to keep Ken in your thoughts and hope for a strong recovery. With this, we have created the Ken Cluck Support Fund to help Ken's family cope with medical bills and loss of income. Donations can be made online, using either PayPal or any major credit credit card, by clicking on this link.

Should you prefer to make your donation by check or money order, please mail them to the following address:

The Ken Cluck Support Fund

This is the time of year when our thoughts often turn to family and friends. As friends, please do what you can to lend your support to Ken's family in their hour of need.
