Retro fit some like I have to my shed old Passast.
Are they Type 85 Audi coupe gauges?I've had these for years and once upon a time they were cheap and plentiful on e-bay but recently they have got rarer and more expensive.
Very, very nice though and work perfectly.
Not a shot at victory here but worth a mention - good old Group B road going versions.
Citroen BX 4TC
Delta S4
And how about this? I know it's not a production car, but worth a mention. Twin engined VW Scirocco factory prototype. 2 x every gauge to monitor both engines. Note the twin rev counters and single digital speedo. I'm counting 17 guages (including the digi speedo) but not the odometer.

In addition to my post above with only a lowly three additional retrofitted gauges, I bring you my old Mini;
Water temp
Fuel level
Oil pressure
Vacuum
Amps
Volts
Triumph tacho
Triumph speedo
Truimph multi segment display for ignition lights etc
Turn signal repeaters from a Bedford CF van !
That pic was taken in March 2000, the day and just before it was loaded onto a flatbed and sent to the scrapper. A decision I deeply deeply regret.

Triumph Dolomite Sprint - 8 Dial
I used to rip these dashboards out of scrapped Dolomite Sprints and rewire them into Mini's. Did about 10 or 12 of them back in the day. The central dial was a multi light panel which was a bugger to remember what wire was what but after the 3rd one I remembered them all moving forward.
Wish Id kept the dials I had - it was the one thing I used to love pulling out of old cars about to be crushed (Park Royal Scrappy was massive and many a Sat spent treasure hunting).....

A Sprint has a voltmeter but no oil pressure gauge. "Because Castrol more reliable than Lucas".
Standard Sprint below (clock out of shot):-
Yes, "Trolley Jack Pirate Attack", I think.
I used to know the allegedly sensible answer to that question but have now forgotten it. The light may be a warning that the transmission is about to explode. I am currently waiting for my latest Beta to arrive from a place where it is being prepped for its first MoT since it went to the Isle of Man in the 80s. I will check in its handbook when it gets here. My one has the pre-facelift instrument panel (shown in the top picture in my previous post). BTW, the dials in Beta Berlinas (saloons) are of a different design to those in the Coupes and HPEs.
