Hartge gauges were fitted in a cluster where the ashtray was , and you usefully could not see them. Alpina had the best solution with the gauges in the vent.

Later hartges had the centre console mounted ones but early turds had that dash top pod.

That whit H28 auto that a zoner owns and Colin's H35 both have them, both '85 cars iirc?

I'm surprised nobody transplanted a Cortina 1600E dash in there, with a row of top mounted inaccurate Smiths gauges (Series 1).

Yuck! That would be the 1st thing to go if I bought a car with one fitted. It looks dreadful.

It's like an auction site, you put in an offer and he accepts it when he's happy.

Pretty much says, it's rare, wont find another for sale, perfect fitment, just need double sided tape to fit and a small hole drilled for gauges.

Here is a pic of it in my 1985 Hartge catalog. The price list in that year listed it with gauges for 198,00 Franks.

Ha, who buys a Hartge, with extra pods and a leather steering wheel, and then only has a digital clock fitted?
