One of the first upgrades I made after buying my Jaguar was replacing the leather gear shift knob with a custom one. In contrast to the original, the upgraded version is slightly larger, hand-made, and has a Jaguar badge inlaid under a high gloss resin. I was also diligent in my selection to find one that matched the colouring of the burled walnut in my car's interior. It's no surprise that you can find these knobs with a variety of stains and custom badges, although the wood interiors of Jaguars have made them popular targets.
Looks wonderful! Does the knob just screw off?
ReplyDeleteIt does. It's a very simple replacement that makes a huge difference.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best looking shifter knob I've seen. Do you remember your source? What I seee online doesn't compare! If you'd let me know I'd be forever thankful!

Sorry, I can't recall the specific seller, although I remember I found his store on eBay. I'd search there to see if you can find what you're looking for and maybe you'll stumble onto his store. It was a few years ago though so it depends if he's still making them.
