This seems to have died a death, although quaife refer to it being available from Swiftune on their website. I know the price is likely to be astronomical but it seems strange that swiftune don't mention it on their website and to the best of my knowledge there have never been any articles on it, or mention of it in miniworld or mini magazine (since a small photo of it on the quaife stand a year+ or so ago)??

 

Anyone know anything further?

It ain't sequential.  Look at the photos.  Where is the drum?

There's other ways of doing a sequential shift without a drum.

 

For example, there was a youtube clip of a fella who drew up and made his own shifter, totally external to the box, that gave a sequential shift pattern.

Yes, Bremer for example, make a commercial one.

 

However a sequential gear box in which the dog clutches on two shafts are moved by selectors that can NOT be engaged by an H shift pattern, makes a 'red herring' of whether the gears in a conventional gear box have either an H or sequential external shift pattern.   

 

There is also quite an extensive clip somewhere which shows a guy either 'rowing'  his H shift, or flapping his paddles and the gear stick moving, untouched, sequentially of course, in and out of H shift positions.
