What about a late model Brittish dash? I have seen pics on Euro Mini boards with late model Britt dashes and they look just like anything you get in a Charade etc.

Best part is......they were made to fit a Mini!

When you speak of late model UK dashes I am assuming that you mean the woodgrain or alloy type? If so, you can buy them at Northern Mini Parts in Heidelberg (Melb).

They have lots of different types whether you have centre speedo, two dash or three dash gauges.

I think they are late model Rover Mini dashes. They look more like a 90's jap car dash than say a 70's Clubman dash.

when i refer to jap dashes, i mean the curvy moulded plastic ones with a bulge infront of the steering wheel for gauges, glove box underneath.... that kinda thing.....

i'm trying to plan the interior for my roadster, and i'd like it to have all the new kinda bits on it, so no flat mini style dash...... something that will impress at autosalon (eventually)

oh, and using the upright steering wheel too, so it will fit infront of the dash..... cos the new dahes are much deeper....
