Found this gearknob in my garage.
It came off one of my old cars.
Without looking at my previous cars listed in my PH profile, can you name the car it came off?

Yes.

You can actually see it reflected in the shiny knob.

Not bad, need to be a bit more precise - there are clues in the photo nerd

I don’t know my TVRs that well, I would guess chimera/Griffith/Cerbera era mainly because that is the generation I am most familiar with so probably why I recognise it.

I also think it's a TVR, a mate had a Chimaera and Cerbera, so I'd go for the Cerbera.
