Wraparound Dashboards

[shawn ford]

Just looking for some clarification on the wraparound dashboard. The Wedge Bible indicates that this dashboard 'was fitted to 400 SE and later cars.' I understand that to mean all wedges manufactured from the 400 SE onward to also include 430 SE and 450 SE, and not a dashboard that was exclusive to the 400 SE. However, I have seen G and H Reg 450 SE's with a more flush version of this dash like those found on the 420 SEAC but with Smith/Warner guages. What's the story?

Thanks

Errrr....it's a TVR??!!

Probably depends on whichever mould fell most easily to hand at the time!
Best not to worry, if it all works, I'd have said.

The only standard TVR is the last one to be made. All others are prototypes!

Ian is right. Look at the production figures and the later cars were made in drips and drabs. I suspect that they simply used up parts or customers requested that type of dash.
