For all those Mk1 freaks out their who have a leather fetish (** cough paranoid

**)

Well i sanctioned the construction of this rather rare and one off dash when i was having a leather phase! I started by getting hold of the best set of Connelly ltd edition, leather seats i could find, from one of my most favourite cars, the GTE Mk2 Champion. Once i had this, i custom made my door cards in half leather to match and then realised that my dash looked out of place and so against my better judgement i decided to go the whole hog and have a matching leather dash made to some serious expense to my pocket and to the tune of £550.00 for just the dash!!! the ancillaries and gaiters where another £100.00! (I know Embarassed

)

Now i had a little crush on TVR's at the time and so i sanctioned the sexy leather stitching that trims out a Tuscan as well - see pics. Further to this, i also had a matching pimp daddy stitching gear gaiter and handbrake gaiter made, as well as a boost gauge and shift light pod covers (which keep the glare off the screen from the back of the units) These covers also have the pimp stitching on them. I then finally requested the left over leather so i could cover the A pillars to complete the look. And for the record the look was knock out and i do have pics of the entire install, and all who saw it each in turn did a little sex wee. Wink

Now i know what you are thinking, but the pictures below show just how good it looks. To cut a long story short it's all up for sale for the bargain price of £375.00!!

Should anyone be interested then please don't hesitate to call and we can discuss any other queries you have!

I've seen it in the flesh and it's the absolute tits. You won't be disappointed! If I could justify spending that amount of money on something that doesn't make it go faster I'd have it like a shot! Best MK1 dash I've ever seen Cool

If I wanted to remove the dials and gte badge would it leave any marks/holes etc?

GTE badge would come off no probs and no marks left, pods would just leave a small hole for the wires that you could cunningly plug but other than that it would be spot on.

Ive decided the pics still dont do it justice as well.

**Steve i love the way you find innuendo in everything you see hear and write, im worried about you fella but i wouldn't want you to change for all the Tea in China! laughing
