Topping up gearbox oil in a Reliant Scimitar

How do I top up the automatic gearbox with transmission fluid in my Reliant Scimitar SE5a 1975? There is no oil in the box whatsoever, however it goes through the gears without any problems.

Carefully remove the speedo drive and pour it in through there.
