www.facebook.com/carsosofficial/videos/1830633333738633/Did anybody see Car SOS on the Lotus Esprit ? The link above is the part about the dash, I'm in South Wales no far away from Bridgend and will be trying to find this chap ASAP... looking at the clip I believe is further up the Valley.. It would look fantastic the classic i run on the road and the classic based race car I'm building... nice part is it swaps back easy as well..

I saw that, very impressive, but I'm going to guess that the cost will be thousands for a one off.
Please let us know if you find out.

Yes not cheap as he was talking about machining alloy to make the units... but if it could be fitted in the standard dash it might hopefully be a bit cheaper..i will try to find out more once they let me out of my cell !! sorry house.

You need to look in Street Rodder magazine, always somebody offering digital instruments, meanwhile, google "Dakota Digital" www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm |

Yes they look very similar, wonder if he got the idea from them ?
I just looked to see if he is a UK dealer but no, they do have 2 in the UK.
Ill keep digging for the car sos one as its not far from home..

Ok, I missed this episode, and I've just watched that facebook vid. After careful consideration I have a 3 word review.

I wasn't convinced on the clocks at first, but they do work very very well!
I guess if you are worried about originality, buy another set of clocks to convert. It's not always cheap, but handy!

I have a Volvo Amazon and that's just one long speedo with the temp, fuel and warning lights so should be interesting to see what he can do, would be nice to have a rev counter built in without adding any additional clocks.
But i do agree getting a second one converted would make sense.

Yes, I saw that episode of Car SOS this week and was impressed. Wonder if they do centre of dash ones for Minis/Minors? Certainly would be trick to have the reversing camera feature...

I think he did say the large Mini central speedo is possible

I've got a series one 1600e and the clocks would look great with this digital modern look. Does anybody know if this is even possible?
Thanks in advance
