Up for auction is a genuine Smiths dash mounted dual water temperature and oil pressure gauge assembly recently salvaged from 1969 MG Midget.  Our parts catalogs indicate proper application from 1959 to late 1974 MG Midget and Austin Healey Sprite.  This Smiths dual gauge is in excellent overall condition - the chrome bezel is very nice and shiny with only minor pitting and some light scratches.  We tested the gauge by immersing the temperature probe in hot water and the gauge needle deflects properly and holds steady.  See photos for condition of case.  The numbers on the face of the gauge are GD 1307/01.  Please email us if you have any questions.

By Chris Chilton Motor Industry 23 June 2008 18:56 Direct injection and a clever new PDK dual-clutch gearbox have cemented the new 911’s reputation as the greenest performance car around, but Porsche engineers are being hampered from making the iconic sports car even cleaner by the public’s reluctance to accept further green technology Engineers at the launch of the facelifted 911 told CAR that fitting a BMW-style start-stop system could chop a further 10g/km from the Carrera’s 225g/km CO2 rating but that performance car buyers weren’t keen on having such overtly planet-conscious tech on their cars. Start-stop works by cutting the engine when the car’s stationary in traffic, and restarting automatically when you touch the pedals to move off again. Every manual transmission-equipped BMW 1-series comes with the technology, excepting the truly high performance versions.
