I have just got my mits on a nice wooden dash with lidded glove box for Belle to replace the painted one. I don't like painted dashes much & I really find the open glove box annoying.

Ruut they do but this dash was probably an 1/8th of their cost. It is sadly from a breakers who are breaking a 2016 Roadster with item for sale on ebay. Most items have silly pricing but the dash was a good deal.

On the photo does it seem as if they have made their own instrument dials!?

When I was there and spoke to them about dashboards, I was very impressed. They are quite innovative with their solutions, but it comes with a price...!

MorganPark Hamburg has some nice things for the 3.7 l Roadster!👌 In this case, it is another example of Matthias Kaufelt's artistry, the ultimate in Morgan dashes, though our Italian brethren have a source for something similar as well,distributed through Luigi Borghi, the Morgan dealer in Milan . Matthias began like any of us, in his case a graduate engineer specializing in electronic security systems (IIRC) . But he had a deep love of wood artistry and it was his hobby. He was also a fan and owner of a Morgan. When his restoration of the dash of a vintage collector car (Rolls) was spotted by Gregory Flaving, the German dealer, Greg asked if he could make a Morgan dash. The rest is history. But he remained, mostly, a treasured secret of (mostly) the German Morgan community until he was kind enough to make me a dash to order when the Works recreated my Plus 8 in 2002. Now all the savvy dealers around the world buy from him for their plush and discerning customers. I imagine there is a waiting line but it is well worth it. All his dashes are bespoke and he can accommodate any demand. I have fit two. One for my UK Plus 8 and another, very different, for my MMC recreation. Very nice, I wonder where they put the three dash display selector buttons ? He is perfectly bilingual So it doesn't matter where or what you choose. You can copy stock arrange or go for anything, including any finish. Lorne

A brave step as even MK admit defeat with Mustang instrument change - have MP substituted custom instruments or just the dials  . I would guess the info display in tacho has its own set of controls. Further guessing the horizontal slide control is for heater vents. Dread to think what it costs - link anyone?

Only some photos here: https://www.morganpark.de/holzarmaturenbretter/At the bottom of the page MP says: **** translated by DeepL *************** Detailed advice - either by phone, e-mail or even in person during a visit to us in Hamburg Barsbüttel - is a matter of course for us. The installation takes 1-3 days, depending on the complexity. Contact us for a non-binding offer! *************************************************** And: +1 for the MK dashboard! The former owner of my 4/4 had a MK-dashboar fitted. Ten years later I hat a problem with the painting of the glovebox flap. MK stripped the painting and and varnished it new. FOC!!!!
