Oh that's weird. Never saw those handles before! THanks for the warning,

This is the early BW shift pattern, P N D2 D1 L R. Plus it's worn so the 
detents are off position, so you have to rummage around a bit for the 
right gear. This sort of thing is tough to get right once it's old and worn!

In a car this light and underpowered, the little BW 12 should last forever.
