Thanks again to all the club members who have helped me so far with parts and advice in relation to the restoration of CS2030. I look forward to meeting some of you personally for the fist time at The National Weekend. I will have the car with me and will welcome any comments or suggestions or further advice regarding its restoration to original specification. As I have such a good reference point for the restoration of the dashboard (above - see picture of the dashboard of CS2030 which were used in the drivers handbook)I would be most grateful if anyone could point me in the direction of any similar original instruments (working or not)

Just love the Gold Seal advert.  When I qualified in 1978, I treated myself to my first 'proper' car from Gold Seal in New Cross - a two-year-old Jensen-Healey, with the Lotus 907 engine.  Turned out not to be that 'proper', in fairly short order...
   
   Good luck with the car, Russ

Russ, did you get the instruments all sorted in the end?  I can't remember where you had got to!

I've found a good route to getting a very accurate cable drive speedometer and tachometer made up using original instruments from another model.  If you're still stuck on this, get in touch.
