The Les Leston Dadio wooden gear knob is handcrafted in England as a tribute to Dadio, the famous Lotus Elite raced by Les Leston to the British GT Championship. The name Dadio originated in 1920s and 30s jazz culture, where it was used as a friendly expression for someone stylish, respected or simply a "cool guy", making it a fitting name for one of Les Leston's most celebrated racing cars. Hand turned on a traditional wood lathe, the Dadio features alternating layers of maple and contrasting blood wood, creating a distinctive striped finish that makes every gear knob unique. Designed for classic sports cars, GT cars and historic racing vehicles, it provides a period correct finishing touch for both wooden and leather trimmed interiors. Available with a range of thread sizes to suit classic British, European and American vehicles including Porsche, Jaguar, Aston Martin, AC, MG, Triumph, Lotus, Austin Healey, Morgan, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Shelby Cobra, Corvette and Ford Mustang. If you are unsure which thread size you require, please contact us before ordering. We can advise on the correct fitment for your vehicle.
