Are they 12 volt or 6? That might help pinpoint the age of them.

Yep, very much like Farina ones - I'd have guessed at them being from an early "fintail" version.

The Ford clock/ashtray looks to be bakelite, it sure as hell wouldn't have been in any of the 'baby' Fords as far as I know, maybe Pilot if domestic, other than that it'll be over to the US early Ford anoraks to step up to the mark.

The bakelite ford one with the ashtray is Ford 7y deluxe. Might have been used in 7w's as well. English 37 -39

Definately Wolseley 15/60 & 16/60 (and non of the other Farinas) there many be a number printed on the back of the gauges which may give a clue to the year, where as the ashtray has a "blue oval" (black in this case) so must be a fraud.

Well there you go, I knew someone would come up trumps. I just figured a clock and ashtray would have been way too upscale for that end of the car market.
