Phantom Corsair engine and gearbox
Thanks for your edits to Phantom Corsair, FC49. After doing some digging, I found a Motor Trend article by Michael Lamm that supports your edits regarding the car having a V-8 engine and a pre-selector gearbox, as opposed to a straight-8 and automatic, respectively. Based on the existence of this source, I've gone back to your changes (which I had previously reverted due to them not being cited), although I've noted the different assertion about the engine made by Mick Walsh of Classic & Sports Car. Maybe this isn't the best way to note this discrepancy in the literature, but it is certainly better than the old status quo.

I'm sorry if I caused you any discomfort by reverting your edits. Because your changes were uncited, I felt confident in my decision to revert them at the time; however, after doing the legwork myself, I have come to the conclusion that you are probably right (although I noted Walsh's different opinion because it was published in a reputable magazine, just like Lamm's article). In the future, I'd highly recommend citing any similar changes that you make to articles, even if it is simply inserting a raw URL to an appropriate source. That would have prevented my two reverts of your two edits to this article.

Thanks for your contributions and your time. All the best! Michael Barera (talk) 02:27, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
