Anderzander Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I found this picture on the net - no further info, but using the smaller warning lights has made a surprising amount of space I thought for additional gauges. I think it looks quite smart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb78 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Thats really good. Better than the td5 conversion on earlier models too i think! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Interesting conversion, but I prefer the TD5 set up which I fitted to my 110. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Giugiaro reused a lot of design cues in the Esprit. And you definitely can have a great time daily driving one of those! 😎 As for the dash, I like the idea a lot, just surprised he kept the clock but didn't include a rev counter. I had one fitted to my 90 as soon as it left the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like something we would do. 🙂 Only I'd try and drive it back home if at all possible. I've always had a thing for the Elite. But I ended up with an Eclat Excel a couple of years ago. She will come up for sale soon though I still enjoy driving her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
