IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT
One feature of the Tiger that we have not looked at before is the driver's instrument panel. Anyone who saw it before restoration started will be amazed at the quality of work done by the staff at ABRO. From a bent piece of tin with holes in it we now have a complete and fully functioning set of instruments.	Click to find out how to purchase this photo. Tank Museum photo No. 6040/C/2

The two tubular objects just above the panel are lights, controlled by the switch extreme left, top.

Directly beneath that is a dip or dimmer switch. The large dial is the revolution counter. To the right of that, top, is the speedometer and odometer combined and below that the oil pressure dial.

The final dial indicates coolant temperature and beneath that is the ignition switch and light. The panels on the right are the fuse boxes and the studs on top are plug-in electric sockets.

Looking down into the driver's position.

The steering wheel is obvious and to the right, just below the instrument panel, is the gear selector control.
