I have 1 set of brand new aluminum R380 shifter knobs for sale. More on the way, but I wanted to order a set first to ensure quality. These will fit any 5 speed Rover, but the shift pattern on the knobs is for the R380.

169.00 shipped to the lower 48 states

The price list is 100.00 pounds in the rover porn mags, my price was 75.00 pounds x 2 for pound to dollar conversion and then shipping brings it to 165.00. The ones on ebay are in euros here is todays rate before shipping

98.00 EUR
Euro = 125.353 USD
United States Dollars
1 EUR = 1.27912 USD 1 USD = 0.781790 EUR

so I am not out of line. But for the hell of it 160.00 shipped to the lower US. These are not quite as bling bling as the ones on ebay also.

Please; The stuff you offer is the one in the first link at EUR 59, the second link shows a more expensive set (98.00 EUR) but with a much more better look.
you should do the math again.

Actually the one he is selling is different than either of the ones on ebay. It has the machined rim around the center.

FWIW . . .

Bump.

I know the price is nuts, but it is what it is. Taking a few dollar loss on these, win some and loose some.

130.00 Plus 7.00 shipping.

The biggest problem with aluminum shift knobs is that they are hotter than hell in the summer and cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey in the winter! I had a wood knob on my MG that had an aluminum trim ring around the bottom and a steel nut below that locked it in place. In the middle of Chicago winters if you touched either with your pinky finger it felt like you were getting instant frostbite and it was incredibly hot in the summer (esp. if you have a ST with it baking in the sun all day).

Not trying to bash them, just a heads up to people dropping $137 on 'em before you get a bunch of irate D90 owners on your hands.

Good Luck with your sale, but I think you may be better off with these on Ebay.

Thanks for the plug Kyle and your honesty Andrew. I ordered these in repsonse to feedback from the UK, they are popular there.

Think your right Ebay might be better, thats the next.
