Hi

A friend brought me a guage today, wondering what it is off, any ideas?









Cheers

It looks distinctly 50-60ish.The inner circle bit reminds me of Rootes models,e.g Hillman Minx/Humber 80,etc.

I don't think the Rootes cars had the concentric rings in the centre. I was wondering if the high fin Farina Oxbridges had that type of speedo. I guess Rick will put me straight on that though.

Hi

What are the other two guages in that pic?

He has all of the guages out of the dash, but couldn't remember what they were.

Cheers

I had a quick look at my '59 Cambridge, very similar although there are two warning lamps at the bottom - red ignition, and blue for high beam.

The speedo is just visible in this shot
