Retarder, similar idea to the parachute you used to get on Merc 811Ds; these Volvo-powered Tigers have pedal operated retarders.

What's the amber warning light immediately to the left of the coolant temperature one? Don't recall seeing that one on the Olympians/Nationals I've been in with that instrument panel...

Cheers for that! Now I know. One of those things that would be plainly obvious with the vehicle in motion, bit harder to work out from a photo.

 

Still a bit odd looking at that photo and seeing what I recognise as bits of older Leyland but also bits that I recognise from First's Wright Renown bodied B10BLEs that I've piloted a fair few of (most of which actually *drove* surprisingly well despite their neglect)...the bits all being in the same cab messes with my head a bit.

Influence? A lot of it is straight-up Honda.

I can see the honda influence in the design with the low set dash and the wrap around plastic with wood * insert on the passenger side. If that makes any sense.

Like the rest or the R8, the dash design is definitely influenced by Longbridge, look at the backwards step Honda imposed dashboards of the HH-R and 600.

That'll probably do for now.
