Hmmmmmmmm............i bet you, a jam tart, the gearbox has gone in the past, and its had an early BC box fitted, the early ones have no gate in the box, its down to the linkage......so with no gate in the box or linkage.......voila (crunch crunch)

Check the hole through which the clutch cable cable goes on top of the gear box. One single hole -> early BC box with no gate. Two alternative holes -> later type BC box with a gate for reverse.
