These engine turned dashboards are from our own supplier and are meticulously hand jigged with 1 inch dia mop turnings. The bright polish work is then coated with a scratch resistant laquer for long lasting shine and durability.

This project proved to be an interesting one as modern reproduction dashboards incorporate circa 75 horizontal engine turns and circa 16 rows. The original J2 workshop manual however, highlights circa 98 horizontal turns and circa 20 rows. Few original dashboards survive and we have only been able to take reference from ones with fewer turns and therefore, did the original publicity dashboard ever go into production? Our jig is however, calibrated to produce both types and for our own F type, we have decided to go with the more elusive pattern as shown on page 53 of The Instruction Manual for the J series. Any feedback would be welcome.

We carry some stock otherwise these can be made to order with a waiting time of circa 2 weeks. Please state standard (top image) or deluxe (lower image) layout.


We also stock the scuttle and horn mounted mirrors and the black dashlamps for the L1, L2 , J3 & J4 Types (also optional for F2 & J2)



Price £170* (instruments not included)

* We can supply dashboards to a custom layout (as shown in 3rd photo above) or with extra number of engine turnings although there will be a surcharge for additional work incurred
