When men were men and cars were cars.

Graham Hill's 1968 Lotus 49B F1 car is up for sale. It has a dash board like a car not a computer game. ???

No speedo! How did he know how fast he was going....

In those days the drivers got blisters from changing gear so many times in a race like Monaco.

That seat(if you can call it that) looks damn uncomfortable too.

Yep, a man's dashboard. None of this CID malarkey. How hot is it? Has it got fuel? has it got oil? Am I revving the nads off it? What else do you need to know?

No need to know how fast you are going in a race car ;)  All you need to know on an old racer is as Kevin says above.
