The customer wanted it built like that to be used as a driver , always thought rollers of this era were reliable and could be used daily .

Why oh why would you go to all that trouble and expense and have that nasty nasty nasty bit of pine for a dashboard?!

I doubt that is his concern, although I must admit I was looking more at the engine install.
Does let the side down somewhat. |

My thoughts aswell, it's the first thing you notice about the interior. Overall a good show of engineering but with none of the proper Craftsmanship of the original Roller.

Okay, I have stared at this for 5 minutes now and I can not see how you can get a view of the dashboard. Has someone removed a picture? I appreciate aficionados may dislike aspects but I think it looks stunning. I wouldn't want one, a Jag is my cup of tea, but it still impresses.

There are more pictures in the link.
If a jag is more your thing, there was a MkII with an XKR engine in it at one of the Goodwood Breakfast Clubs last year. So much awesome in one car!

There was a Jag gathering at a National Trust venue up here a couple of years ago. There was a Jag from every era and it was wonderful. It was a sunny day as well so all the soft tops had their roofs down, the doors were all open. Lovely. I just have to wait until my kids have grown up so that I can afford one, and its upkeep.
