Ive had this dashboard in the workshop for the last 20 years, but knowone so far has been able to tell me what it came out of, Its not kit car, my god father who it came from always had jags but he's not sure of its background, can anyone tell me what its out of

Pre war judging by the radioactive instruments!

I'd guess not a jag based on it using Jaeger instruments

some crazy lazy arse bloke i work with says it looks like a lanchester
but who knows he lives in a world of his own !!

Not sure of the origin, but i can envisage something a bit more modern,maybe CF or ali, with a similar arrngement.

Not sure about the instruments, but the wooden dash itself is a dead ringer for the top of the smallest of a nest of tables my grandparents used to have (allegedly received as a wedding present in the 1930s)

If it's Jag then I'm Fozzie or DLT could id it.

Cheers,

Didn't Lanchester make 9mm sub-machine guns? They used to make 'em dash!

New Robin Hood?

Early PSA (Peugeot Citroen Renault) possibly.

deffo british,poss armstrong sqidley

Hmmm deffo not Jag !

Centre section of dash which is losing its veneer, definately a saloon and not an OTS, from between 1930's - 1950's.

Not a 'prestiege' type car as there would have been chrome bezels around the instruments and 'pulls'.

I would concur with John that its British, but more along the Austin 'type' of motor.

Sorry we couldn't be more specific.....
