To quote Dr Seuss:
TRY THEM AND YOU MAY, I SAY.

No! He should leave them for those like me that are drooling at the sight of a MkI two tone dash in red.

Well said, David. But was there an original to copy? Could it be that this model had a large clock in the second instrument hole?

Rover V8 fitted!
