I looked over in used parts for your dash and didn't see it, where do you have it posted for sale ? I'd like to see it and I'm sure others would also.

just flip your mini over so it becomes a left hand drive and than you can use this

Will it fit a RHD if you flip it over? Tongue Out

My Mini came with a sheet of aluminum spanning the whole opening with the gauge mounted in it. I really need to build a nicer one.

if i can get hold of that dash, i can replicate them using thin layer of fiberglass, lay a thin foam over it then heat press a layer of leatherette... 

no welding needed! lol

but indeed, that dash looks so sexy

Reproductions of this dash have been available within the past few years out of the UK I believe. A local member of MOALA had a LHD example for sale awhile back which I would have snapped up if my Mini wasn't RHD. A sharp option for sure.

Speedwell offered a swoopy wooden dash face I'd love to add to the Mini. Also on my wish list is a set of rosepetal wheels and a set of sporty seats.

I've always had a soft spot for this dash, don't see them much anymore. I like seeing the ole performance products of days gone by.

The cars I've seen these on I thought looked very sharp . My pockets don't allow me to entertain the idea of buying it right now.

What other period items do you guys like ?
