A new old stock Laycock de Normanville 65579 or BMC number 17H5865 overdrive planet carrier assembly that is very likely the last remaining NOS part in existence. The photos show this rare part still encased in the old cosmoline and protective paper being opened up for these photos. This BMC boxed 17H5865 part fits later model Austin Healey 3000 overdrives. This part is for someone wanting to build a want to be perfect overdrive. In the original Laycock box with a BMC label. I cannot say for sure but this part may fit some Jaguar overdrives as well. We do not have a Laycock parts book to research other applications. The Laycock part number is 65579. Do your research if a Jaguar application. Perfect condition, a planet gear carrier assembly still in the original box with protective paper. A piece of Laycock history as it is now made of unobtanium.
We are the Sport and Classic Car Company located in Houston Texas

British marques.
Check our other listings for
rare and unusual parts as well as interesting pieces! We have an inventory of
new old stock parts from British car dealers that retired and import parts
houses that closed. Many NOS parts have been stored away for decades and are
now coming to the surface. Parts data was kept on paper key card files by hand
as computers did not exist so listing and identifying parts now is a laborious
process. We have made a lot of car owners very happy with rare and basically
unavailable NOS parts we have been able to provide.
The vast
majority or all of our EBAY sales are items that help raise funds for animal
rescue. EBAY handles the proceeds from these sales and makes the disbursements
to 503C animal rescue groups. Some of the parts are ours and others have been
donated by our automotive clients that are aware of our animal rescue efforts.
Preparing and selling the parts is essentially a free service we provide car
part donors. They get the parts out of their life without a hassle and enjoy
knowing where the proceeds go.
