Yeah, that gauge on the lower left is the Smiths seatbelt gauge.
The gauge lights up when you turn the ignition on to remind you to put your seatbelt on. You press a button to turn the light off.
It certainly is an experience driving the car with all those gauges. It does have a kind of aircraft vibe about it.
The car is different enough to drive anyway, because it is a Minimatic.
I know that a dash like that is not everyone's cup of tea. My Cooper S replica will only ever have a bare minimum of gauges - less to worry about when you're driving.
But I feel that it adds to the character of my Minimatic.
Cheers,
Ray.
