a Quick Identification question on the guage we all ignore

I have a TVR guage in a box.. Black with white lettering, about 4" diameter.. electronic, reads MPH to 170, natural guage sweep, ie left to right arc upwards.

..anyone know what it came from ? is is worth anything ?

Cheers
Matt.

Don't know mate, don't bother looking at mine much. It shows at a steady 30ish anything between 0 and 80. Makes revenue earners fun

So if we ever see your Tasmin for sale we should take the mileage with a pinch of salt then

Has the gauge got a digital odometer and no trip meter ? chimps around 94-95 used this digital type gauge.

Well if it was made in 1999 - it's not from a Cerb so it must be a Griff or Chimp dial. Is that what you were asking ?

Forget the year, it only reads to 180 - can't be from a Cerbera

Well Harry its actually a left-over from Broughtons that came to me via a friend who works there... They sold most of their TVR stuff to David Gerald, slung a load away, and this and a few ofther bits and bobs were left lying around to be disposed of.

Cheers
Matt
