Stupot 50 - no it's just a bog-standard 2.0 wide body, but I think that the dials (and the steering wheel, gear knob and gaitor) with the ///M logos are all original factory fitted extras. Unless of course someone knows better!
Those dials are definitely from an S50 ///MR. The S50 was the only (UK spec) model to have that logo on the dial and I'm not sure that your 2.0 would reach 155mph as the speedo suggests!
The dash pod must've been swapped out at some time, and not an easy job because AFAIK the ECU has to agree with the mileage figures on the pod.
To be honest, I'm surprised that unit is compatible with your car at all.
I guess it's possible that just the circular cards were fitted into the original unit...
You're correct that the other bits were optional extras from new.

That's what I thought, mine has all the other logo's which are detailed on the build sheet but not on the main dials

Congrats on the 100k - at my present rate of annual mileage I should get there around 2020.

Ahem, my 1.9 has a speedo that goes to 155 mph and the rest of the dials look just the same as those. If you change the cluster, the higher mileage between the new cluster and the ECU is supposed to be taken - if they don't agree, as tamper dot is supposed to be illuminated - however as pingu found out, things don't necessarily behave as described. I'd go with replacement cluster, as the logo looks too good to be non-OEM.

I want to get down to around 40p per mile. At the moment I'm on about 75p per mile. The only way to do that is to drive it . Looks like you have the same plan.
They are not M dials, unless someone has blacked out a few thousand revs on the rev-counter .
Well the red needles are not a standard cluster - mine are white - so my guess is that it is off a US spec ///M roadster, which had a different engine to our S50 and S54-engined ///M roadsters.

RED's needles are RED just like those above....
Yep, could be off one of those crappy under-powered American S52s.
