Manual leather gear knob...

Post by George Snr » Mon Jan 02, 2017 3:22 pm

Has anyone got a decent leather gear knob for a 1997 manual please! Did Rover fit them to any other range, 200 or 600 maybe! :)

Thanks, George.

From what i heard once the same knob was also fitted to the P38 Range Rover George.

You could probably try a generic "universal" ebay one for an M8 thread (i think it's M8 anyway) if all else fails. :wink: :D

Yeah P38 is the same, think Rimmers have them listed at £134. My Freelander needs a smokestone leather one, listed at £113, silly prices to be honest.

This is a few quid cheaper :

Alternatively there's a few thousand more to choose from :

Hopefully both of you can find something suitable there for a more sensible price than Rimmers..............

Trouble is Dave I'm a bit of a bugger for originality where possible, although have to admit the original prices are a bit eye watering!

I believe all leather gear knobs were black, regardless of interior colour?

Yes should have made it clear the smokestone one I need is for a Freelander not an 800 which were only ever black, even in the early Coupes that had grey/beige handbrake levers.Even a mini could be had with a cream leather gear knob..............difficult to figure Rover sometimes.

I sometimes think Rover made it up as they went along Dave - pretty sure the handbrake lever is black on my Coupé yet the interior is beige............... :shock: :roll:
