A rare engine set up too, dont see too many twin plenum set ups very often.

Looks like a car thats worth a look.

Looks like series 2 SD1 clocks in a TR7 dash, but I must admit, it's a damned nice conversion...

Eeyore rides again !!

EOR14W - Persian Aqua 2L Dhc, Now rebuilt and looking lovely - Sprint engine now fitted!

Ah, yes. Power steering and power locks as well. Pity it's rhd...

[Dave Dyer]

Yes, thats a series 2 dash. Looking at it from right to left, hes got the tacho (with a LCD display?) speedo, 3 gauges (oil, water, fuel) and the trip computer. There doesn't seem to be any switches.

Also, the SD1 doesn't have a speedo cable is has a speed transducer to trigger the speedo, so that would also feed into the trip computer, which is a nice addition to have.

As for the surround, that must have been cut to fit the TR7, but all in all its good to see what others have done to improve/change/modify/spoil? the TR7, (myself, I think it looks good!) Plus it must be the only twin plenum '7 around!!

Here is the answer from the seller.

hi the dashboard is from an sdi rover as is all the running gear, it is a beautifull fit i agree

[Wayne S]

Nice car indeed, I really like that dash very Grinnall inspired with the use of SD1 bits and bobs!

Loving the fact its twin plenum too [:D]

Must resist.....[8D]

Hi Guys, lovely layout, i have to be honest like all of you i thought striaght away it looked like it come from an SD1, could it be a start of more conversions like this ??

Sorry guys but as good a conversion as that looks what is wrong with the original TR7 instrument panel ??some conversions are just for the sake of change and don't actual improve the car.

Yoo last guys are sounding a bit 'ol git down the pub classic car
enthusiast'about that highly individual dash mod.You dont have to like
it to appreciate what the fella's done.I think its awesome and am sure
there will be plenty of takers for that wedge.It deserves a standing
ovation for the ingenuity and time taken to execute a very professional
looking alteration.

See ya. Paul
