We have covered around 150miles in Project Melvin so far and one thing which was apparent. The original manifold just wasn't upto the job.....quick call to DingoCroft and a nice new one arrived a few days later along with all the sundry hardware.

Half hour later and its all fitted adding a little bit of quietness to the original 2 litre.

We absolutely love the simplicity, ease of access and completely uncluttered engine bay...... shame LR didnt stick to that philosophy.

We have been inundated with emails asking about our 80" dash panel and what sort of cost they are.

With that all in mind. We have worked out some numbers and options to give people an idea, our panels are designed to fit standard 52mm gauges which give hugh options to configure them as you want.

To supply the machined panel with Ignition / light switch, 3 warning lights and USB socket - £365

For all of the above plus a GPS speedo (0-60mph or 0-80mph) and a digital fuel gauge with sender - £490

All prices are plus vat and shipping where applicable.

This leaves you to find 2 more gauges of your choice either battery volts, ameter, oil pressure, oil temp, coolant temp, rev counter.... etc etc.

Our website would be removed from the panel but the layout arrangement is fixed as this seems to work well for space within the dash board.

Modern yet classic with the bonus that everything works. What more could you want for your 1950s 80" Land Rover

All CNC Machined. Digital gauges with a analogue look. GPS Speedo, upgraded digital fuel sender so accurate to a mm and USB chargers which all cars should have.

This was a one off, but we are always happy to make anything for anyone if you have a project in mind. Just drop us an email [email protected]
