Time for a gear change knob change
My leather gear change knob has become significantly worn (wishing I'd asked the shop to give back the section cut out of my driver's side bolster last summer when I had a panel replaced to fix a hole- probably enough there to mend the knob) Not to worry, I've "won" a wooden one on eBay!!!

Great pick up, a $30 buck outlay for a million dollar look!
I'm curious as to how many variations of gear knob were made for the X300, as you can see mine is plain polished wood without the metal trim ring that yours has. I think they may have been only fitted to the X300 Sport (mine) and XJR models with the dark wood trim, but not sure...

Yep, the dark birds eye maple was for the Sport and XJR only as far as I can tell.
It is a hard color to match and I haven't found anyone that makes a knob in that color.
However British Auto Wood confirmed they could match the mahogany steering wheel
