Rare Mitsu Jeep help please

I have a 1975 Mitsubishi Model j26 SWB Jeep which I use daily.
Its mainly original with 2.4 ltr narrowblock ASTRON 4G53 engine, KM141 column change 4 speed gearbox and Hi/low Transmission and a Warn allgear OverDrive.

Recently it's becomming increasingly difficult to engage 1st & 2nd Gear.
The same problem exists when the engine is turning so I think the problem is caused by the box rather than the clutch.

The KM141 is based on the T90 3 speed box in the Willy CJ3B Jeeps (these early Mitsu jeeps were made under license to Willys).

My question
Can anyone suggest soemone who might be able to do the diagnosis and, if necessary, rebuild work on my gearbox please?
As I live and work here in The Cotswolds preferably someone in this part of the UK but I'm looking for experience so travelling isn't a show stopper but the less motorways the better due to a top speed of 60 Mph.

Any help or suggestions will be very much appreciated as there are only 2 of these in the UK and mine is the only one on the road.

Kind regards,
Bernard
