45DCOE, read the story, do you have page 2, .. I thought they were brilliant, I tried to buy a Red one, not a raced car in the later 1970's wasn't happening.. so bought an older Triumph TR4 instead ..
Roger, the only red one was the sample car set up at Town and Country Cars for Torino Motors.
Which gearbox did these cars have?
There were several gearsets... so which ratios?
From my understanding Ray, standard production 4 speed 125 gearbox, 4.1 diff with LSD centre. Certainly not the 5 speed box from the 125S.

The 125T used the standard 125 gearbox (1st 3.422, 2nd 2.10, 3rd 1.361 and 1 to 1 4th gear and standard 4.1 to 1 NON lsd rear axle.

Alf Goldsbury competed in 1974 & 1975 in a 125T doing several national rallies also the Pall Mall championship, prior to this he drove a Fiat 127 in various club events. The highlight being winning his class and finishing 24th in the 1973 Heatway Rally.
Back in the 70,s Pio Pio Motors in the King Country ( Alf was a partner in the business )were Fiat agents for both cars and tractors,this was unique at the time the only place in NZ with both cars and tractors together. Different distributors.
My car GG7963 also competed in the inaugural Targa NZ with Maurice O'Reilly at the helm so I believe.
