Not everyone's taste I'm sure, and not quite finished yet, but it's getting there.

And a big thank you goes out to Marina Brian who gifted me the correct clock for the car, cheers mate

With a steering wheel like this you can really see how classically styled the interior of the car is. With one of Simon's wood panel kits , if you ignored the ATC and radio you could swear you were sitting in an old saloon car from the 60's. That's probably the reason my Nan loves my Rover - It reminds her of her Dad's old MK2 Zephyr. I know the Zephyr interior was totally different, but the 75 certainly has that classic car feel whilst being usable as a daily.

Also, I like them dials. Are they from a ZT or are they custom?

They're MG clocks with a Rover 75 surround, I've repainted the needles in red to keep the retro theme going.

I'm a big fan of them - I might do it myself at some point. I thought I really liked my facelift 75 dials but I think these are even better.
