Teeth 11/40
Ratio 3.6:1 (?)
Housing no:v3205, which doesn't correspond with either a Wolseley or a Riley.
Any ideas on what it's from or whether it's suitable for a Minor?

If depends on what engine you have in the car. If you have a healthy 1275 it will probably manage it. If you have a bog standard 1098 you will be almost selecting 3rd gear in a strong headwind

Sure it's a BMC diff ?? There never was a 3.6 Let's see a picture.

The diff was for sale on ebay (ended now). The seller claimed to have bought it for a Minor, erroneously I suspect. Despite several questions I wasn't sufficiently convinced that it would be any good. He seemed to have no idea which vehicle it came from and neither do I.

If my memory serves me correct,i think the 1.8 Marina had the 3.6 diff fitted.
