On a short journey of midas dashboards...I found this;

I tried searching the forum to find if it had been discussed previously!

What do people think?

That's where the inspiration for the MK 2 dash came from.

That's a nicely done bit of trimming. It reminds me of my old Lotus Excel in fact the seats could very well be ex Lotus

[goldeneye]

Verry nice!

That's an inspiration as to what I should do with mine, but where has the glove box gone?

Just came across this post.

I knew the guy who had this car built for a ridiculous amount of money and bought it from Charlie Dodd ‘needing work’ some years later. I owned the car for about 20 years finally donating it to Alistair at Midas in 2015 when I lost my garage (and other half). Alistair has the paperwork including the trimming bill. It looked pretty but wasn’t too clever and was a bit of an ergonomic disaster.

They are ex-Lotus seats and the glove box was a drop down unit beneath the dash - the catch is visible to the left of the the map light.

An interesting bit of Midas history nonetheless.

Very interesting Steve, it is always nice to hear stories like that.
