Anybody got an old one in any condition they do not need.

I am looking at a project to do an accurate --function/appearance/texture/colour--- short run reproduction.

If it works the supplier would get one of the new ones for free.

Funny you want to reproduce the stick, stickfinger ;-). I would certainly be interested in any good replica, as mine is falling apart in many pieces (prefer a wooden one), so please keep me in mind. Unfortunately I can't give you my scrappy one, as without it I can't drive...., but it is all sorted already I notice!

I would also be interested in a new one, as would just about every XM owner in Australia I would think. Also 605 owners...

If you are prepared to make the run a bit bigger, I can do a bit of publicity and get some numbers from Down Under for you.

Cheers
Alec

All sounds great chaps.....I will let you all now my progress.

Were there ever any colour choices or were they always the black-blue/grey like mine one ?

Hurricane Grey is the colour for all dark interior plastics after 1991.

Please add me to the list I could also give a spare shifter to the project if needed. It has lost all of the outer grip plastic but it might help to set up a shifty exchange service.

If you would send that it it would help a lot to get things going/me working out the method as there is a 3-4 week delay getting one atm due to health reasons...

I will PM you my address.

I tried a local carpenter to make a new surround, but he gave up.

I ended up with a leather cover from Q&K Citroen Classics - they did a good job.

I would be interested in the end result of this project, though.
