Ironically the seller "exozzybrit49" won't ship to Australia.

I've been looking for one of those for years! The seller does seem rather serious about not shipping outside the UK. Anyone want to take a risk and bid on my behalf?

I'm bidding on it for my 64 project, to go with my SPQR gear linkage and SPQR Rev pod I have.

I have had a couple of those in the past. As with nearly all SPQR stuff it is well made, if not a bit over engineered, but it works exceptionally well.
Not seen a NOS One like that for years though.

This may be slightly off topic, but the post reminded me of pictures that I have seen with several Ogle SX1000s outside SPQR's premises. Is there anyone out here who knows the link between the two companies? Did SPQR perhaps work for David Ogle?

It could be that SPQR supplied many of the 'component' companies of that era. I have a Mini Marcos GT brochure that features, as factory options, the accelerator pedal at issue , the Major Change remote shifter kit, as well as the SPQR engine steady kit.
I ran across a Speedwell catalog that had the Major Change kit listed also.
