Hot Rods Looking for info on this shifter

Guys trying to find out some information on the shifter. I know with the wealth of knowledge on this page someone will be able to help me determine what it is and who made it. Shifter is on top of a flat head transmission

Strange?

 

Looks like something out of an English tranny, MG. Jag.

I'm guessing it's from a military or commercial vehicle, pretty cool, I'm sure someone will know.

 

All aluminum body, and shifts like a Hurst Shifter

 

Strictly a WAG but it could be a transmission and shifter that was in an Allard?
The first Allards were flathead powered and as @nugget32 said it does have an English look to it.

 

maybe not?

 

COE?

 

Wouldn't that move the shifter the wrong direction?

 

Not in a sports car like one that you sat over the rear axle. Seat and cab rearward was pretty popular well into the early '60s on high end coach built cars.

Here's an example. Probably newer than the flathead powered cars but should give you an idea.

 

the shifter would be moved the wrong way for a COE truck, is what he meant

 

Looks like a neat design that someone needs to follow to create a mirrored version for Camaro T5’s to move the shifter forward.

X2....or big Healey

 

Oops, pardon the smell from the brain fart...

 

That is what was known as a remote shifter. A lot of European sports cars used remote shifters.

 

Edsels car ?

 

Wow..love to see a phantom , cut away view of the inside

 

Kinda reminds me of the shifter in this '51 Ford:

 

30 something years ago my neighbor had a north African campain, tracked rig...
it was a '41 and was flattie powered... he wanted $400 for it.... said no...
that would have bought me a lot of hockey sticks in 1983...
had an odd shifter ??
