Does anyone know who made this dash? Is it a W&P?
The knobs on the glove box doors are Bakerlite and it has a switch for the instrument lights in the centre under the speedo.

Ahh, that could explain the W&P link, because they supplied Rookie dashes, didn't they?

Not sure it's early Rokee but whoever the mauftacturer was sold them through Taurus and Motortune in the mid 60's.

i have a new rokee dash kit in the original box and the packaging is labeled deckvale shelving systems of coventry on the paper tape sealing the center section. very common mod that cost about $10.00 in the late 60's to early 70's. i bet we sold at least 50 during that time. this one might have been for a speedo only car and had the 2 extra gauge hole drilled by the original installer as normally they were made to go directly over the original 3 gauge dash. jw

The articles I have suggest the link with Rokee, and Wood & Pickett to be a late 70ies / early 80ies affair.
