Thanks, only just read your post, they are still on!. Mines the later Mk1 black dash, these are for the brown? I've got a couple of the time clocks in my spares but neither work. £114's a bit steep anyway!

That pick-up looks like it rolled of the production line like that! Don't know why they didn't make them.

Hi theo.
your 340 looks great.
Have you put a latter modol set of dash clocks in there.
She would look good on a set of Leos.
Cheers Mark. sm4
