Chap looking to buy a speedo reckons the Monty dash and instrument cluster was also used in a London taxi, has anyone heard about that before?

London taxis are full of AR parts. The speedo is indeed Monty/Maestro. They also use Mk.1 Maestro stalks, and a lot of switches too. -
The smaller LDV vans also use Maestro/Montego instrument units and possibly stalks and switches too.Steve Worsley

None of this is surprising seeing that the 'London Taxi' was an Austin FX4 before it was sold off & rebranded.Regards

I'll third, errm, fourth that
.
Don't forget the internal door handles in the LDV Convoy are from the Austin 1800, Morris Marina and plenty more BL Tin... and at least one Lotus.
The late LDV Instruments are the Roverised Maestro/Montego ones... and the (diesel) rev counter is redlined at around 4,500rpm and not the usual 6,000rpm of the petrol ones. That's a 'proper' mod for a Diesel Maestro or Montego then???Rich Smith

David, you should have asked me!! ;-)
Actually, the new London Taxis use it too, although it's slightly modernized.Neil
