Very nice classic alternative design
I'm especially interested in the chrome bezel around the fuel/temp centre cut-out, did you make this ?

I am a newbie here so sorry for the stupid questions maybe... Wow. That is amazing. Is that for a S3 Roadster or a 3.7 (looks like 3.7 gauges in the middle?) What gauges were used? What changes did you have to do? Is that a big clock in the middle behind the steering wheel? I am looking to buy a 3.7 (or a 3.0) but hate the standard 3.7 dash and lack of instruments (oil pressure, volts)

Looks like a MIG clock fitted in front of the steering wheel 🤓

Oh I couldn't live with that 3.7 Roadster dash. Adrian's was the 1st I saw years ago and I can't get use to them.

I must be the odd one out as I don't quite understand the preference for the traditional layout of a Morgan dashboard with the speedo as far away from the driver as possible. Fine for the racetrack but on todays roads I personally wouldn't want to look at the dashboard behind the steering wheel and see either nothing or a small clock! Speedo and rev counter dead ahead for me. The ergonomics of the dash are important and I think that arrangement of the late 90s / early 2000s seemed pretty good. The stacked instruments in the centre of the dash also meant that all dials could be read with the half tonneau cover zipped in placed. layouts that came afterward were a retrograde step I think despite harking bark to earlier times.

My '93 has the speedo and rev counter directly in front of the driver. The important small gauges (temp, oil pressure and to a lesser extent in importance volts) can be read with the tonneau cover in place over the passenger side.
