    Looking for a timber console for a 5 speed manual car early series with the carved icons and painted a/c switch. But not the slight raises like with the 365 model..
    would love it if someone could help/ideas
    much appreciated.
    thanks

    Unless it is lost, these consoles can be easily refurbished to much better than stock. Any specialist in ancient furniture can remove the yellowish varnish and apply a new coat: either traditional (don't know the word in English, bit I mean manualy applied with a piece if clolth) or sprayed polyester. The top layer can also be replaced with alternative woods, or even patched, but that's another budget.

    I have a spare one that is for an automatic but have been told it could be adapted to be used for a 5-speed when its refinished..

    Good day,

    Have you tried the usual used part suppliers like EuroSpares, Ferrari UK, Ferrparts, Rutlands to see what they have? If they do not have one and you wish to start promptly, then acquiring a automatic console and modifying it or using it as a overall template may be a your only immediate choice. Jippiejake mentioned that he has one and if his does not have the console engravings, etc you are looking for then there is one ebay for a reasonable price:

    Cheers,

    Sam

    If you're not in a hurry I'll also have a spare one for an automatic in about 2 months time. Condition unknown until I pick it up! I bought it in an inventory with other parts I needed, but this part is not required as I have NOS console for a manual. I'm happy to send pics when I receive it if you don't acquire one in the meantime

    I think I def need a manual one as it’s a 5 speed series 1 car. Where did you get your 5 speed manual one from??
    It may be sketchy to try and modify an auto template??

    Facel vega had metal dashboards painted with a wood effect that was quite amazing.

    The expensive parts mentioned by Rovexenius might be a better option though: 400 gen1 interior is really gorgeous, and the wood console is a distinctive element.

    Never even suspected that the FV dash was painted metal. They are absolutely gorgeous.

    I have a 365 GT4 2+2 wood panel in my 365 GTC/4. If you wanted to supply me with a new correct one for my 365GTC/4 ( Metal) you could have mine. I believe Motion Products in Wisconsin has them.
