Look at this beautiful Hillman Minx instrument panel.

It's even got a radio with the tuning dials needlessly in a tiny locker.

That newfangled cigarette lighter needs immediate ditchage, though, but then it would be a car without a cigarette lighter.

However, this pillow

could tempt me to violate my 'don't buy a car without a cigarette lighter' doctrine.

Oh, here's the one I was looking for. Now, you've seen the beautiful asymmetrical Minx panel, here's the shittiest asymmetrical instrument panel ever:

Hey, how about a bunch of randomly placed warning lights of different styles, and a speedo with half the numbers missing placed off to the side to make way for a seatbelt warning light the size of a tennis ball. Why is the indicator light in that little box? Does it pop out for security like a radio faceplate?

 

I love Sierras, but god damn is this a horrible thing to look at. 

 

Rest of the car is gorgeous:

3 speed manual! I like that enough to drive it back here from Oz.

 

If manuals are three speed, or column shift, or ideally both, even I don't mind them too much.

Nobody needs more than three gears anyway, be it four, or two wheeled.

The bottom line is however, that I find Oz chod ice cool. There. I said it.

 

I'm a bit surprised that noboy commented on that there Sheila yet, so I take the liberty to kick this off:

I wouldn't mind one jota her being inside that sin bin upon arrival at Southampton.
