Ok so comnpleted the test drive in the S3 today.....great drive,.. a bit tight but then only 23K on the clock...and full TVR serive history..... BUT.. it has got the original Ford Gear Knob on!! Looks like it was offf my Dad's Sierra. Wife say (and I agree) it has got to go...... (together with handbrake bit,,,,.

Question 1..... where should I but the the best replacement bits fromn???

Question 2....... Being that the car has done so few miles and has a full dealer TVR history should I change it???? or just keep it as original? PS this car has all original service books and every original user guide....


colour is Paris Blue will get pictures sorted as soon as I can work out my phone!!!!

Change them!!!

Everything about the interiors looks fab on these cars except the rather naff Ford details.

You can source all sorts of upgrades from various places. It's a five minute job to change the gear knob and you can replace the original in the sabe amount of time so no need to worry about the originalality.

Car sounds great! Can't wait to see the pics!!

I think Pies posted a site for Richbrook products. I reckon I'm going to get one off of there. I have a nice chrome one on the mini. Makes all the difference.
