Gear knob

Post by nickacb »

I saw this action on ebay and just wonder if someone can confirm if this is really a mk1 mini gear knob, cause it doesn´t look like.

Looks close to the gearbox I once had in a tractor unit. I was the only one in the yard that would drive it.

I was a day late on a flea bay auction for that knob. Been looking for one ever since.
Figured it was perfect for a Moke. You can't own a Moke without a sense of humor.
