I love that Gauge pod in front of the gear knob.

[MCHUDD]

Cheers for that mate.
The gauge pod is home made.
{blue peter has a lot to answer in the 1970s}
She has a smiths rev counter
Volvo 240 ambient temp gauge
Volvo 360 volt meter.

Looks good man.
Theres something about that shade of interior that just reminds me of being a kid.
Though I dont think we even ever had one that colour.

Lovely car mark.

Cheers mate.
She could still do with a set of wheels like Toms or Stefens.

Yeah, they ARE the best looking wheels on ANY 300.
Keep your eyes peeled for a set mate.

A very smart car, can't see why that would be a problem with Mr. MOT

No bids on these yet, as far as I can see ... But Groningen is a long way off for me, way up in the north of Holland, otherwise I'd offer to pick 'em up on my next trip. But maybe you could ask the seller if he's willing to post to N. Ireland?

I was going to comment on the gauge panel too The ambient temp gauge - is that 52mm in diameter? Did you have trouble getting hold of the temp sensor?

Hi Tom.
the gauge is a 52mm unit bought of ebay.
The sensor is the same from 240,late 360,440,460,480.
Should still be in a lot of scrap yards.
They are usually underneath the bumper.
Cheers Mark.

Cheers, Mark. I'll keep an eye out for one ... Ambient temp gauge (or clock) and a voltmeter are what I'm aiming for at the moment ...
