He did Your Honour honest he did! 😮
That knob looks familiar as do the seats! 🤪
As I'm pretty sure I can hear jaws hitting the floor allow me to explain. I think AJBers know that Donk Drives An Aston! and said beast is fitted with parts off the Casino Royale record breaking roll car? well the gear lever assembly illustrated here came out of the Quantum of Solace SFX stunt car. What makes this polished piece of kit unique is as was the case with the Goldfinger DB5 the DBS gear knob also has a "do not press!" button ... parp!
If you watch the sequence where the DBS's cabin is being blitzed by heavy machine gun fire from the Alfa Romeo chase car, DC appears to duck below the windscreen while he still has one with multiple hits striking the front of the inner door pillar and dash board, the only way to safely fire the SFX squib hits was for the actor to fire them himself hence said button! 👍️
The gearbox tunnel panel will shortly after a slight modification be joining the Casino Royale parts on the Aston ❤️
Post will be updated once unit is installed in the beast. Not a 3 minute job! I'm told it will be a three weeks turn round to update the centre console to Piano Black ..... slurpy! 😍

Donkey certainly does has a shiny knob, with added carbon fibre surround 👍️
That's really unique. Well done & good Job, Donk !

That's a brilliant snippet of info, makes perfect sense though.
Amazing they didn't just gaffer tape a switch onto the gearknob but went to the trouble of making it to that high a standard!
Fantastic acquisition destined for a fantastic home, well done Donk. Love the inside information too.
Don‘t show this to Danjaq_off.
He would come up with some alternative ideas about where to put that!
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
Yeah, and it would involve you bending over.
Piano Black goodness installed 👍️
The essential Aston Martin Factory Option H&K UMP9 (for dealing with those annoying Alfa Romeo chase cars!) 😎
Now THAT’S a knob to be proud of 😍
I hope you have many happy years with your hand wrapped round that 😏🍸
