Interesting R620 for sale!

Actually looking back at the press photos of that car when it was first rolled out, it had the other style Spa gauges in too.

Looking at the video, it looks like they changed the entire dash to the newer style one, with the two large dials on the drivers side and the three smaller ones on the passenger side!

A much better look in my opinion!

I assume it has shift lights built into the Rev counter on the new style gauges too?

They did a huge amount of work to the car before sale - lots of mechanical parts stripped/checked, seals replaced, car re-dynoed (gave out just above the 310bhp) and of course the new dash fitted.

There are no shift lights - I already had a set of shift-i lights which I've now fitted. Gauges are nice and I prefer classic analogue gauges to a stack style dash, but it could really do with an oil temp gauage - don't understand why there isn't one. I'll see if I can get a suitable sender and put the water temp gauge on a switch to change between the two. The new gear indicator is good, exactly where its needed - while the previous needle gauge was pretty, it wasn't as functional.

Fantastic! Sounds like they really did a proper job for once for you to make it all it should have been prior to the sale!

I agree on the oil temp, it s the first thing I look at on track days with my R500, can't be hard to get a sender into the dry sump tank too!

It's a shame they moved away from the aces shift light set up too, always been really happy with all my caterham models that had those fitted.

I can hugely recommend the shift-i lights....had them on several cars now and always brilliant...very customisable to work exactly the way you want and really couldn't be easier to fit.
