|
|
Hi Folks
Clever old me has managed to secure a supply of brand spanking new Nardi Leather Gear shift knobs, they were an optional extra on lesser models (series 3) but standard on the late model 16v. They have the small Alfa Romeo badge on the back, see pictures:


I can lay my hands on about 5 at the moment but there may be some more... Price is 55 euros delivered to UK but obviously the more of you who want one the cheaper it will be. Money up front please...

Mmmm They do look good new don't they?
I have one on the 33 and the Minari has one too, although the knob on the 33 has been well polished with lots of hand action- phnarr phnarr!
Can't really afford to go mad and get a new one, but would recommend one of these to anyone who has a standard one- worth 55euros if you're a bit flush.

I suggest you get one now Bobbber, I never thought I find one until now, you have to grab opportunites like this when they come along, you'll kick yourself if you miss the chance and besides hell may have frozen over by the time your P4 is finished (bet its ready before my car though )

How come they weren't standard on the P4 then Bob? I thought they were! Or has it been changed over it's lifetime? |

Hi
Think those were for the later series 3 33s and the P4s in the UK were all earlier series 3s.
I have an unused one somewhere along with a gaitor to go with it.
All the best

Hee hee, thanks Bobbber!!
Quite right, P4s did have a Nardi steering wheel but the matching gear knob was an option, see brochure for further evidence...
Come on you lot, I thought we'd have more interest than this, for just under £50 you can have a lovely original gearknob which many of us would have imagined was impossible to get hold of. I'm not trying to make any money on this, I'm just sharing the info. I'll see if anyone on a rival forum has deeper pockets  |

I would have had one Rich but I've already got one (smug Bar steward!) although mine has suffered the same fate as Johns..........way too much hand action  |
