Ermm, my own car at the time was a Minor 1000 with a mildly breathed on 1275cc Midget engine in it. Sadly the motor was too strong for the gearbox and I had no synchro on any gear, up or down. I still blip the throttle now, and I've got a tiptronic...
Talking of lubing trunnions, I've got the maintenance chart on the garage wall for my Dad's first car, a 1948 Standard 12.
