They were factory fitted in the UK to the Riley Elf They were also available aftermarket in the early days as the “Rokee” brand dash. They’ve probably been made by many companies since then |

that one looks quite home made timmy201 wrote: They were factory fitted in the UK to the Riley Elf no, definitely not an Elf dashboard - a very quick google search shows that they were a lot different (much nicer) |

It is unique to the Elf range. Attachment: IMG_1788.JPG

It could be an aftermarket item as there were literally hundreds of different types made but it looks homemade to me. The lack of quality of the wood / finish seems domestic. |

Thanks for the quick replies Definitely not the elf dashboard. I wondered if it is after market but someone has fitted homemade doors as it's vinyl covered The woodgrain is quite good but suffers from age. Should I bin it or would it be worth advertising for sale |

I've got one of those and it was an aftermarket dash made in Melbourne, probably in the 80's. Mine still has a sticker on the back of it for T&H Dashboard Designers 35 May Street Glenroy. |
