This is a lovely V12 with what appears to me to be a new gear knob.



Does anyone know if Aston will permit this on non dog-leg Vantages?

I don't see why not, plenty of people have fitted the metal V12V knob to V8V so I cant see why this wouldn't fit on a original V12V. The only thing is the layout will be all wrong but... Wouldn't just fitting a V8V stick be better then you get the right layout too - plus no end of people willing to do a free swap I would imagine.

To be entrely honest I'm not sure the new V12VSM stick it isn't just the old V8V stick anyway - although it did feel to have quite a short throw so I suppose it might be different?

It may be the same stick, but it has a top that I haven't seen before...

Yup, that's the US pre-production car and the gearstick top wasn't finished. The pic I have posted above is what the production cars look like.

other than the 7 speed insert, that's the same stick as in V8V and V12V Zag. I had it fitted to my V12VR by the factory so no reason why not
