This is what I had in mind...:

Beautiful!!  Now that would be back to fun driving!!

funny how it doesn't look as good as the Omega - maybe it's the lights?

The facelift Catera is better, but a lot rarer.

The dash has two extra dials, Voltmeter and Oil Pressure, both of which are missing from modern cars... but on the other hand it replaced the MID, so on balance I still prefer the Omega dash.

Very sad that modern cars do not have Oil Pressure gauge... or transmission fluid temp gauge... or an Ammeter... I like to do what my car is doing, but this is no longer an option.

Be thankful you still have a temp gauge....as these are getting rare now to!

My Citroen does not have a temp gauge, only fuel and revs, gauge wise speedo is digital.  8-)

OK, my dream dashboard...


Oil Pressure gauge

Oil temp gauge at oil cooler inlet
 
Oil temp gauge at oil cooler outlet


Coolant Temp gauge at coolant bridge

Coolant Temp gauge at rad inlet

Coolant Temp gauge at rad outlet


Transmission Fluid Temp gauge


Voltmeter

Ammeter


And where will they all fit? On a Multi-Function Display unit of course (a-la-Airbus).


 

I remember building dash boards and cente consoles to fit a huge range of gauges on the car, in the 70's   A whole range of plastic dash boards became available, particularly for the Mini and Ford Anglia

Odd that automatics have rev counters on them.....

Suppose it's just a case of one dash panel can be tweaked for all models and a rev counter is handy for manuals even though I'm sure i've managed without one in years gone by
