Try Hardy Engineering in Leatherhead 01372 378927. They've done some work on my Herald albeit a type 9 gearbox, they know there way round classic cars

There's Winspeed at Wood Street Village, they're mostly into Jags but know classic cars.

What's wrong with the clutch - as the gearbox is ment to comes out from inside the car, rather than drop out below you might be able to fix it yourself or get a mobile mechanic to do it (so saving a chunk on recovery costs).

I think the nearest Triumph specialise would be JY Classics over High Wycombe way.

Not in Surrey but the right side of London (Twickenham) and very well regarded.
