Hi bjogi
From memory it was about 1493*07300.
I own 1493*05262, a column shift 750B as well as 1493*05880, a floor shift 750B, a friend in the UK owns 1493*05439, a column shift 750B, which he has owned since new.
The early '55's were all column shift, the phasing in of the floor shift was either very late '55 or early '56, Hoffman in the US did not want column shift.
Column shift Sprints were built alongside floor shift Sprints, there was no sequence to them, the column shifts were generally for the European market, while the floor shifts were generally for export - this is not cast in stone.
1493*05262 was originally delivered to John Palmar June in London
1493*05439 was ordered & collected from the Alfa Dealer in France
1493*05880 was shipped to Titan Industrial Corporation in South Africa, who were the import agents in SA.
There are 3 different column shift gearboxes for 750's cars, two for Sprints, both tunnel case gearboxes, both actuated by rod & cable linkage to the shift mechanism at the rear of the tunnel case 750 box, the very early column shift tunnel case has 4 identical synchro's, the later ones have 4 synchro's in 2 different sizes. The third column shift is for the Interim Berlina's which use the split case gearbox, where the shift is actuated by rod linkage throught the bell housing of the split case box. Early 750 berlina's & Spiders also used the column shift tunnel case boxes like the Sprints.
What is the chassis number of your car ?
Ciao
