Even that eBay one says it’s remanufactured. 150 quid for not even original?

The even smaller knob that fits the 280 Capri not to be mixed up with just the small knob that fits the 2.8i is for sale now at a reduced price of £120 .

Well, somebody must think it's worth it as it's been sold!
To be fair, recovering a gearknob to a high standard looks like it would be a fiddly time-consuming job.

I love the turgid feel of a leather knob trembling in my hand.
