As a S1 2005 Roadster owner I have the white dial dashboard with rev counter and speedo in front of me. As I am toying with the idea of swopping to a modern Plus 8 trad, the pictures of the dash with the speedo and rev counter in the centre of the car really put me off (and I would miss those white dials..).
I am interested in what owners of these dashboards think about this.. perhaps they are great in the middle of the car without the rim of the steering wheel to get in the way.. or have Morgan been daft in sticking to this design?
Thanks,

Borghi in Milan will do you a custom dash and probably even lend you a car while they do the work.
Obviously can be done in right hand drive and a choice of wood variety etc.
A good excuse for a holiday in Italy
Apart from the yellow... this is how it should be (have been) done in the last plus 8.
I have a 2009 LHD Roadster, and have rev counter in front of me and speedo next to steering wheel. For a while I wanted to swap (which can be done on my car and would not be difficult a job), but I never did, as you get used to it. On highway, I keep constant speed by just checkin the rev counter. Never got a speeding ticket, just because I did not accurately enough could read the dials.
There are solutions with a small digital speedo, for classic cars.
One regret I have is fitting a clock, sits next to side screen. This gives an irritating glare in mirror and side screen, when driving at night.
Cheers,
Bert
