and personally I have moved the temp gauge to where the oil pressure gauge is as my hand obscures that most of the time

I have one but the manual does not address the elements that I have identified with "?" looking for more than the manual provides.

I would think that 16 is the indicator light and 18 the choke pull as it is above the starter button. Has the car got any additional lights etc as 1 and 2 are non original switches?

William, thank you.  Heck the car is lucky to have headlights right now but looking at its overall condition there were no additional lights added.

I thought perhaps one of the switches on the left might be for overdrive.

The choke pull makes sense location wise.

For 16 do you mean as a turn light indicator?

Replied on the Facebook page. Re indicators, these should operate off the control head on the steering wheel. There shouldn't be holes where you have 1 & 2. Strangely, mine did too but I'm now using the holes for heated front and rear screens.

 

Nigel, are handbooks still available through the email address shown on the regalia page? Been meaning to get one but thought they were no longer available. Please let me know if they are and the appropriate funds will be on their way.

all the info is there for a standard dash layout, turn signal switch is on the column. I must add that I have moved the choke to the main dashboard structure as constant pulling moves the dash binnacle to much over time IMHO

1 and 2 on your dash is where I have overdrive switch and warning light (not mentioned in the handbook as it was an option I guess)
