This is a tad embarrassing. My Pop has a 3-rail gearbox from a Mk1 Cortina fitted with a 2000e gear set. Due to my medical condition I've not been in the garage for nearly 2 years, consequently I have forgotten where reverse is! Can anyone advise?

All sorted now, finally got into garage and it's down and back next to 4th - due to the 2000e gearset.

That makes it an Escort (Mexico etc) or Mk2 Cortina box with the gearlever at the rear of the tailhousing.
Mk1 Cortina box has gearlever at the front of the tailhousing and is fitted with either a very long gearlever or a bolt-on remote. 2000E gearset fits either style as they use the same gearcase.

Thanks Bri, most likely to have been a Mk2 Cortina 1500 as the Pop was built as a Rod in 1972
