I bought this gauge set.
Just curious if anyone could tell me what car these originate from?



Edit: spelling (ones again)

look just like the gauges in the mgb-gt that was parked outside my house last night.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

From Sheffield now live in York tha noz

Later triumph models, I have the same gauges in my car-well speedo and revs, I have other smiths 52mm gauges but the 52mm ones there are triumph, mgb are slightly different needle and face, that speedo is odd as its in km with the mph smaller?

edit: just noticed your netherlands so speedo will be km i will do with dolomite as the motor they came from

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

Cheers guys
So Triumph Dolomite it is..
I hadn't seen the needle pointing up before, hence the question.

Now to find some more dials with the champfered bezel.

Thanks again.

I'll go with Triumph Dolomite 1850 as well.

The UK version had a 120MPH speedo in the Dolomite 1850 and a 140MPH version in the Dolomite Sprint (I'm using the one out of the Sprint). I make 200Km/hr closest to 120MPH.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

You can buy the chamfered bezels separately for about £4 each if you want to use a round bezel gauge.

Think I got mine from Somerford.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

200km/hr is good enough for me...:)
I have been in a mini going 180kmh just once and eventhough that car was upgraded on many levels, I don't plan on doing that again....!

Thanks Rich, saw that on Mini Spares for Tim guages but those don't look the same.
Will check the Sommerford ones, might be an option.
