Can anyone help I am missing the chrome/ alloy trim from around the gearstick and handbrake gaiters any idea what car did they come from? Or are they TVR’s own

I am not sure about handbrake trim, but the one around the gear stick is MGB.

Mine looks like it's just been cut/fabricated from a sheet of aluminium with rounded corners and two holes.

However i dont believe the Vixens had one like the Granturas did
I fitted one on mine just not on the handbrake.
If you have a 5 speed like i have you need to get the position just right otherwise it fouls getting into 5th
However my interior is not exactly original
I have since added a gaitor on the handbrake to neaten that up

I don't believe the Vixen S2 or S3 ever had any chrome trim as standard. It may have been an option or on earler S1's / Tuscans.

Neither my S2 nor my S3 has any chrome trim around the gearstick or handbrake and both of them are very original cars.
