Title: Complete Dash wanted for a 1974 Hillman Avenger 1600 Super - oblong speedo

Hi all
Our son has just bought his first car.  The current dash is covered in carpet and on inspection is not in good shape.  Hoping someone may have a spare out there.  Instruments not required.

ooh they are like hen's teeth and Rocking Horse Poo

seldom seen and hard to procure, I'd say he's probably already got the best solution

or close to what the rest of us have done or seen

Mine has had a Slip on Vinyl / cloth cover been made (before I bought it)

also where in NZ are you (or the World) and we might help put you ion contact with 'local' sheds or collections to pillage

another recomendation for dashboard restorations they do an excellent job and it will look factory new again.Yes its expensive we got one for a vauxhall done it was over 1000 dollars but looks great.
it will need to be looked after and treated well afterwards.
