Three blacks and a blue or is that just the light on another black. 28 points of course for 4 blacks

That dash looks american style to me and I wondered if it was from Chevrolet on a Corvette or Camara. A quick search didn't turn up anything other than Jim's comment coming to mind when I saw this:

Mick's is what's known as a "human factors nightmare"

(A less well known term, most would perhaps have heard about Ergonomics, but generally think along the lines of "comfortable handles" e.g. on a pair of scissors. But it's wider than that and also covers the "MMI" (man-machine interface. There may be a non gender specific alternative, I guess!)

Man-machine interface ???? Wouldn't that be a Kraftwerk concert ?

A clue, it's not from an American car.

Its a fair bet you will be the first to get it Mick. I can/will give a litlle more assistance if required. It is specific to one version of the car, and the neatest design in my view, typically the others have round clocks but with some hint of the odd movement of the pointers.

I have seen today on ebay one or two examples of salvage parts of that dash cluster for sale. More difficult to find them if you don't know the vehicle of course!

A common enough car in a country famous for both its exotic and expensive, as well as its small and ubiquitous cars of the people.
