GEAR LEVER KNOB
« on: Thursday,January 27, 2022, 03:16:32 AM »
When I bought my S2 Europa it had the attached gear lever knob which caused some confusion as the gear pattern is not correct.
I am told this is actually off a S1 Europa which had reverse in a different place.

Now I have the correct gear lever knob fitted I was thinking of disposing of the other.

Does anybody know if it is authentic or just some random one that has been fitted as I have never seen a S1 in the UK. Is it worth anything?

Authentic, for sure.  If it's for sale, I'd buy it.

not only Europa..... Elan as well.   That's the shift pattern on my Sprint.

If you are selling, I could use that for my 1972 Lotus Seven S4
