I think the Rover gear box fitted to the early cars had the reverse on the left whilst the later Borg Warner boxes had the reverse on the right as per your gear knob.

I'm after a replacement one too, the one I have is quite scratched by a previous owner. Does anyone know where I can get a new one - not that taken by the Leven ones and would like to stick with the original one.

i agree with you about the leven one-looks rediculous imho,i bought one from tvr for just over £20+vat for my tuscan-tvr's alloy handbrakes are also very reasonably priced compared to aftermarket ones,but i dont know wheather the tuscans fit the griff?

Leven do the classic 'ball' type as well.

I put one on the Griff & it looks just like the origonal.

I changed my Griff's for a readily available gearknob from a different manufacturer of sports car that compliments the leven accessories and heater controls nicely - IMHO of course...

Do these gear knobs just screw on?

I would like your spare if you still have it.
