Spotted that this evening. Tempted to buy to see how they go together and to see how difficult it would be to build a replica.

Not that difficult but it is not just the dashboard!

Now up to £620. It is from a very early Radford De Ville - 997 or 1071 by the looks of it - the heater switch is the rheostat type. Rev counter has been replaced at some point. Correct second switch panel with Jaguar toggle switches and the radio balance switch is also right.

I suppose if you've got an early Radford project with a knackered or missing dash it's worth ALOT of money to you. Can't remember the last time I saw a near complete Gaston dash for sale!??

Well the seller's got the cars mixed up for starters, that's Macca's registration. I think I have a press cutting of the Macca car somewhere looking like that.

Came across these photos of McQueen's Cooper S yesterday, was / is it a genuine Radford...?

No McQueens Cooper S was not a Radford it was upgraded in a garage in LA, most probably inspired by the Radford conversion though. James Garner Cooper S was also done in the same garage in LA. McQueens is alive and well, Garners was written off :(
