Looking to buy a Top Shelf original center console with 3 all working gauges for my 1974 1.8

Good luck... I've been looking for 6 months for appearance group console... very hard to find. I would pay top dollar if one were available.

Wow.... didn't know these were so rare these days.

What's the going price for a nice set?

I see them consistently for $300-$400 UNTESTED, (gauge wise). Of course, cigarette burns etc affect the value. Glad I got in when I did! I wouldn't let mine go for under $450 and it's not for sale.

The console itself is reproduced. There's a Chinese volt gauge available as well for $38 on ebay. The CLOCK is the rare and hard to find valuable piece in my opinion. I posted a way to upgrade the stock broken clock using guts out of a 52 mm VDO clock but nobody cared so I quit posting about it. I was going to do a tutorial but since nobody cared, I didn't either!

I have a few, here is a picture of one.
This has correct, tested 74 gauges, you will need to fabricate the harness.
Offers.

Please do post a tutorial. I saw your post and bought a vdo Volvo clock off of ebay, but it arrived dead. I will being giving it another go as I have a broken center console clock that is forever stuck on 9:14.

Thanks!!
