Looks great Steve.

I had my Longbridge 75 upgraded, along with some other PD retrofits, a few weeks ago, just after we met at Ripley Castle. Worth every penny.

Of all the visible PD deletions/modifications, the dash was perhaps the ultimate low in quality reduction. There's just no comparison.

I've done a few other bits, projector headlights, boot lid plinth, torpedo badges, bullet mirrors etc. All this on a car i was just going to run as it is!! 🙂

Looking good. I had a close look at a 75 with the real wood dash for the first time last week and couldn’t believe how much nicer it looked. Although to be fair to them the plastic one is a pretty good imitation.

It makes me wonder what the Light Oak in my facelift would look like if it was real wood.

Is the dash new, s/h or re-produced?

It's second hand, made in 1999.
