Jaguar and Daimler Wood Gear Shift Knobs

High quality Walnut, Walnut Burl, Elm Burl, Mahogany, Piano black, and Maple Burl knobs for virtually all manual and automatic Jaguar models 1950-2009 including:


XK120,XK140,XK150,Mk1,Mk2,Mk10,420,420G,XKE,XJ6,XJ40,XJS,XJ12,X300,X308,X350/351,XJ8,XK8,XJR,XKR,S-Type,X-Type and the Supercharged and Daimler variants. The only models I do not cater for when it comes to the gear shift knobs are the 5 speed manual S and X-Type.


The finish on these is a cut above, being the same highly resistant OEM coating that is used at Jaguar& Rolls Royce. This is a 3 part European coating "system" designed for the rigors of car interior use, and not plain auto clear coat. 

Various emblems and inlays available, including Abalone shell, Pearl and Vanden Plas Boxwood, and some can be personalized with initials. 


You do not need an additional "nut" in order to align the emblem straight and lock the knob in position. Installation instructions are included.


All shift knobs are hand made right here in my shop, and do not contain any Chinese sourced parts. All are individual and unique pieces. 

While I do have various items listed on Ebay (chap71 and xjswood) and also my ETSY store, you may find it advantageous to purchase here on my site due to the lack of 3rd party fees and taxes 👍


For shipping outside the USA, this is usually around $15 via first class mail.


If you have any special requests or something you'd like to see made, please don't hesitate to drop me a line britishautowood@gmail.com Thank you.

What beautiful workmanship! I just received my order of this Jaguar shift knob and I cannot say enough about the quality of craftsmanship and materials that go into making this piece of functional artwork. Saul & the British Car Woodwork folks are obviously dedicated to turning out a fine product that shows such care and attention to detail. This shift knob is just as it is pictured, a very nice addition to my 2003 XK-8, and goes perfectly with the burl wood dash. When placing my order I had a few questions, and Saul was extremely helpful and engaged, replying very quickly. Excellent communication, faster than estimated delivery. Wish I could purchase everything they make for my car!! I highly recommend these folks. Thanks again Saul! And thanks Etsy!

The very BEST seller on Etsy. I am so happy with my gorgeous Jaguar gear shift knob. I messaged this gentleman so many times regarding my options and choices, I honestly don’t know how he remained so helpful and genuinely courteous, but he did. My best wishes to Saul, I’m amazed with his incredible craftsmanship and attention to customers. Highly recommended! Thank you Saul!

I think this may be the fifth shift knob I have bought from Saul- we have a lot of Jaguars (three currently). The product is perfect, easy to install, and really adds beauty to my XK interior. And he sent a little bonus gift! Nice touch Saul. We'll be back to you next year when I get my XKR. J.R.

Ordering from the UK for a birthday gift I was a little anxious that my order would get here okay. I was kept up to date with delivery updates and when it arrived it was even more brilliant than the photos. The finish is fantastic and would definitely recommend this seller. Thank you he loved it!

This is an excellent, quality item. I asked if they could send me one that was a lighter shade, not easy given it's a natural product, but they were able to pull it off and it matches my car perfectly.

I received a very nice lapel pin to compliment the very elegant shifter, thank you! Great service and the package arrived early as well. I will order more items from this seller soon. Cheers!
