Pre 80s UK cars with large half-moon speedometers?
Discussion
When I was a kid, my Dad built me a steering wheel/gear shifter setup - I wore-it-out over the following years...
He sourced bits from a local scrapyard (North East England) - this would be mid 70s - and the centrepiece was a dashboard binnacle.
It contained a half-moon speedometer (single needle anchored bottom middle) and an odometer and not much else
The casing was rounded at the top and that was clearly the 'top of the dash' so I suspect tea shelfery was involved perhaps?
To this day I've never found-out what it came out of - someone told me is was a Morris but I've never matched-it-up to one I've seen and Google has no clues
Obviously no pictures - I'm old enough to pre-date photography!!
Any ideas - I guess it COULD be American but whatever it was, it was scrapped in the mid-70s so...
p.s. not a P6 dash - too 'short' in height and that's a moving needle rather than a sweeping one IIRC?
