What transmission is this 2?

I'm trying to clean out some heavy stuff. Can anyone help me identify what transmission this is? If you need it, let me know.

Thanks!

Based off the gear stick is say Ford type e. Not sure if someone will want the box but if the gearstick is in good condition a 5 speed owner will likely be keen to get it.

It's a Type 2 mk1 escort gearbox. Check the ratios - if it's approx 3.3:1 it's a 1300gt gearbox which is desirable. If it's standard ratios then it's not worth much but someone may still want it as some race series with Locost kit cars have to use these gearboxes even in standard ratios.

Made of chocolate though so don't last very long once you start going above 100bhp.

May have also been used in live axle Caterham Super Seven with a 1600 GT engine.

I remember getting a transmission with a 1600 crossflow engine from a Caterham. So this is probably the trans from the Caterham.
