Dash: metal or wood?


Recommended Posts

Reading a post over in the TR4 section about metal dash boards reminded me of a question I was asked at a show last week. The question: Did the TR5 come with a wooden dash as standard? I was embarrassed to confess that I didn't actually know. So, what's the answer?

4 had metal; 4a, 5, 250 and 6 all wood

Though a lot of 4`s for the US market also had wood. Also if you want to be very pedantic they all have a metal backing dash.

Wood was a dealer fit accessory on 4's, note recessed warning lights etc as Stuart says, it was stuck over the metal dash

 

4's are unique in being the only metal dash in the range, 2,3,3a vinyl wrap,4 metal painted white, 4a, 5 & 6 wood

 

I have seen body coloured painted dashes in restored 4's, an acquired taste !
