I think it wires to your lambda sensor(s). But someone else will know for sure.

The existing narrow band oxygen sensors are only of use for fuel trim purposes.
Your gauge will require a wide band sensor and a controller such as the Innovate LC-2.

For me a voltmeter is a good idea in a TVR. Mine is digital and in the fag lighter socket, so always on. Very useful to let me know if I need to charge the battery prior to using the car.

My original gauges in my '99 Chim have frosted glass, supposedly to reduce reflection when the lid is off. I've fitted a new Caerbont Automotive Instruments oil temperature gauge made to original specs but that came with clear glass. It's much easier to see and read the frosted glass gauges

The lamp is a shift lamp, the wiring and circuit were never installed though some people have retrofitted it
