Are these the same gents that do the bodywork for all your cars?

It appears from the photos that they removed the motor without taking the gearbox out. Is this infact correct ? Was there any special tricks to doing that ?

Good evening Peter,

I hope I find you well.

Indeed you are correct, engine removed without removing the transmission.

I have asked my mechanics how they accomplished this, will let you know their response.

best
