They aint all like that. I suspect that that has a top loader rather than a T10. Their are different tail housings available for both boxes and that one does appear to be quite far back. It has a straight stick and these can be and often are canted.
It may be that that car has a Jericho fitted which transforms the std H gate into a sequential shift with a reverse lockout….With a Jericho you can run a nice high stick.
Mine falls to hand quite nicely, second is a bit of a twist and a rotate of the shoulder…



They are cozy though…You put them on rather than get in them

It was an enjoyable watch last night and good to see TVR still getting a mention.

I think the car he was driving was this one. Used to be a UK racer.

Maybe as simple as a fixed seat they didn't want to move for a short film clip, he looked very squashed in all over!
