@craigybus1 Dead right mate. I've driven mk2 Nationals and Bristol VRs with the 5speed semi-auto and 2nd gear is the one you use to pull away. 1st is just a crawling gear and very rarely gets used. Lovely old vehicles and very sad indeed there not around in service any more.

I own a semi auto atlantean and had to have some work done to the gearbox. when the fitter took the top of the gearbox off, to check the bands he noticed that the lining on 2nd gear was starting to break apart. he said this was due to drivers pulling away in 2nd esp on hills putting strain on the bands. so from now on i always use 1st when pulling away except down hill. you are driving her very well mate. keep it up!
