Gear shift gaitor

Somewhere in your interior, there is most probably a small piece that can be cut that is folded over where you can't see. I don't know the most likely spot, but that is what you'll have to do.

Pull up the seat cushion and you'll find you can remove a small section of the vinyl from there but probably won't have enough for what you need but you can take that sample piece to an upholstery Trim Shop and they can match it up

Your photo didn’t come through. 

In addition to under the seat you can try the back of the door cars or the underside of the package shelf cushion. 

Hi Darren what colours your car,I’ve got a vintage speedster about the same age and I’m also from the uk(stoke-on-trent) got my gaiter from vintage speedsters before they moved from California to Arizona, mine was a light tan leather one and I am really pleased with it. Got it delivered to a hotel my mrs was visiting in Florida and it saved me the customs charge 

David, I know the new guy Matt who took over from Justin seem to be a lot more service-oriented toward his customers.

But also know that Greg Leach moved into the old Vintage Speedsters location and hired all of Kirk's guys. I'll say that again, he hired all of Kirk's guys. What a great move for all involved when Justin left them all high and dry. He builds Speedsters, pre-A bent-window coupes, and cut his teeth on Spyders for over 25 years. 

I'm biased, but that's who I'd do business with. And have twice, I'm on my second Spyder from him. He's continued Kirk's tradition, but has stepped it up a few notches.

Cheers.

I had one made at an automotive upholstery shop. I cannot imagine it would be too much. 

The car is silver with red leather

If you took your handbrake cover off and take it to an upholstery shop that would be easy.

Vintage Speedster called that color "Wine".  If it is the vinyl it would be "Wine Allante" IIRC.

Those shifter boots are dead easy to make, Darren. Any decent seamstress should be able to make one for you. You could ( I did ) make a pattern out of stiff cloth ( felt or something ? ) turn it inside out and put a hem around the top, around the bottom and the joint seam. SEM upholstery paint is very good and will cover almost anything. Several attempts at the finished shape may be necessary to get what you want. 

I noticed the install technique on my IM when I made a new boot and it was finally installed while turned inside out. The boot was installed upside down over the shift lever, a zip tie was wrapped around the top neck near the upper end of the lever and tightened then the rest of the boot was slowly turned down over itself and finally the skirt of the whole thing was fastened down to the carpet in various spots with glue. 

I attached mine the same way with the zip tie. The only difference with mine was it had the hook layer of Velcro sewn onto the bottom edge and that stuck to the carpet. 

I am here enjoying the sun and I look out this morning and a long legged bird just had to move, rather fly away, I guess there are Gaitors here in the wild.

I used the glue sparingly but your idea with the Velcro is a better way to go.
