Here’s my second attempt at replicating what’s thought to be the new function in the 2016 sets. This one is much more elegant than my last attempt, that’s for sure. God bless the #48496 and the Vahki pelvis.

DESCRIPTION
1985 Aston Martin V8 Vantage 'X-Pack' Development Prototype
Finished in Kensington Silver with Blue leather, this car was built as a standard production V8 Vantage Coupe in 1985 and delivered for use as a demonstrator by Stratton Motor Company, the authorised Aston Martin agent.
The car was returned to the Newport Pagnell ‘Works’ in 1986 and used for development work by the Engineering Department. It was allocated a Development Project number 'DP' and used to evaluate the combination of the X-Pack engine and automatic transmission, together with revised suspension and Compomotive 16" wheels. While at the ‘Works’ the car carried their private registration number 'AML 56' as shown in the magazine article in the History File.
The History File includes copies of the ‘Works’ internal correspondence and memoranda documenting this car’s specific role in the development of the ‘X-Pack’ model launched late in 1986. On completion of its development role the Chassis Plate was updated to show the engine’s ‘X-Pack’ specification, and the History File carries written documentation from the Heritage Operations of Aston Martin that their records confirm the instruction to rebuild the Vantage engine to Vantage ‘X-Pack’ specification.
In December 1988 Aston Martin ‘Works’ sold the Vantage to its first private owner, Mr John Elliott of Langton Green who registered the car with his private plate 'JE 207'. In a written account of his ownership Mr Elliott states that prior to his purchase the car had been updated by the ‘Works’ to 1988 specification, including the air conditioning. At 21,352 miles the car was returned to the ‘Works’ and fitted with its ZF five speed manual gearbox, Mr Elliot driving the car for another 19,000 miles during which the car continued to be serviced by the ‘Works’.
Correspondence in the History File from the ‘Works’ shows that the car was subsequently owned by B. G. A. Palmer Esq, as also shown in the Aston Martin Owners Club ‘Register of Members’ Cars’ with the car carrying the registration number ‘AML 56’.
In 2002, with 40,000 miles, the car returned to the Stratton Motor Company from whom it passed to its third owner.
For the seventeen years from 1985 until 2002 the car was serviced and maintained by the ‘Works’ at Newport Pagnell, with additional work by its authorised agent ‘The Stratton Motor Company’, the original ‘Service Vouchers’ book showing seven stamps during this period when the mileage reached 39,288. Subsequently, and during the third owner’s fourteen year ownership, the Aston has been religiously maintained by two leading marque specialists, Four Ashes Garage and Davron with servicing and maintenance is very well-recorded and documented within the History File
At the AMOC’s 2016 Autumn Concours the car was awarded 3rd Place in the ‘Pride of Ownership’ Class

A manufacturer’s ‘development prototype’ always holds special value within every marque’s history, and none more so than with Aston Martin. Since the V8 Vantage ‘X-Pack’ was the last model of an era that lasted thirty years, and has become one of the most sought-after and collectible Astons worldwide, the importance of this car and the significance of its role cannot be over-estimated.
Offered in excellent condition throughout and the first of just 121 ‘X Pack’ models constructed, this significant Aston Martin ticks every box in terms of provenance, originality, rarity, desirability and is without question the X Pack to own.
Everyone seemed eager to know how the new gearbox looks and works, so here you go!
Here's the gearbox (from the other side) without any other parts attached. As you can see, there are plenty of connection points.
428 Original gearbox which we know is worn out and hence not in the bus is seen here in Grahams car ready for its visit to the specialist in Glasgow. This unit, we hope can be overhauled then it will be tested with its refurbished converter before being returned to us and fitted to the little bus.
From an ex West Midlands Metrobus, complete with alternator and oil-cooler fan assembly.

Its had oil contamination for a very long time indeed and the drive plate was pretty worn too -for the sake of a £4 seal in the box and its made a bit of a mess.
I have to thank Dinah from Prestige Clutches for suppling the replacement and she even crawlled underneath the AEC to look at the gearbox fork arm -hows that for service and she was wearing a dress! -im not joking and i didn't think women like that existed ha ha
This is what happens when you don't recieve Bio15 parts from Lego : you have to recreate them yourself. So here's my Toa Gearbox V2, 99% accurate.
For all my Double Decker Bus buddies. I found these pictures from a site call Desnickering RM125. This poor old neglected RM has been saved for restoration. For all those building the kit this shows some of the chassis which on this one was painted sliver, the bus was quite a mess before being saved, check the link below.

This gearbox belongs to - I think it's a turning lathe (more pics to follow). This room has no roof and rain has apparently washed down the rust into the oil, giving it an orange color.

Dieses Getriebe gehört zu einer Drehbank (vermute ich - weitere Bilder folgen). Der Raum hat kein Dach mehr und der Regen hat offensichtlich den Rost in das Öl gespült und ihm dadurch die leuchten orange Farbe gegeben.

If you like it, you can Flattr it! Thank you!
If you need them to be rendered I can.
The grey 'walls' are two 1x8 plate with a 1x6 and two 1x1 technic bricks on top, with another 1x8 on top of it then you repeat that and stack the other on top.
Black pins are where three 1x7 technic beams go.

Everyone seemed eager to know how the new gearbox looks and works, so here you go!
Add a gear to the back and you're almost done! The axle going through the gearbox can be repositioned, if you want to use a longer or shorter axle or have it go through the torso beam as well.
The gearbox was something I left almost totally intact- Technic designers know better than I do, even if it screws with my exhaust!

Here's the gearbox with the two side gears added. Ingeniously, it's designed so that these gears can rest inside without anything attaching them until the rest of the gearbox is constructed.
spotted this 5-Speed Manual Gearbox and V8 engine combo Aston Martin shortly after i tried out the new iPhone at the nearby Apple store in Regent Street London, was on my way to JD Classics
