Try Atlanta Auto Imports in Gerogia. I purchased 2 from them about 2 years
ago. They were brand spanking new (-:
I also have discovered 2 in different years at Carlisle Kit and Imports car
show and swap meet in Carlisle, PA. It's in the Spring. I paid $60.00 for one
and a friend paid $65.00. they were used.

From 68 - 72 in the US there was an Amco center console that was quite
popular. This console was often installed by dealers and a Kienzal (sp)
brand clock included.
During the 70s it seemed that injection molded consoles to install extra
gauges were the real in thing. I remember pages and pages of ads in
"Hot Car" magazines. Funny thing, the 70s were all about center
consoles, the 90s about pillar gauges.
Personally I've learnt to rely on the information that gauges give, so I
like to have a voltmeter and oil pressure gauge on my cars.
I guess I got carried away when I built my 69 MGB V6 with a custom dash
filled with;
Oil pressure, Oil temperature, Ammeter, Voltmeter, Fuel Pressure in
addition to the stock tach and fuel gauge.
It was pretty at night. Kinda like driving a Kenworth.
The alternator light on the MGB works as an effective voltmeter, so an
additional one really isn't necessary, unlike modern cars that flash the
alternator light for all kinds of happy go lucky reasons.

Lots of MGs that don't need additional gauges
