I had that gauge in my old Mini wagon and I loved it. Nice and compact and great use of space.

But my goodness these gauges have become extremely pricey these days! Seven wants $290!!!

Here's a brand new one for sale at less than half that, $142. (And might even be cheaper when VAT is excluded for export sale)

Because of the fragile capillary tube for the water temperature, I would not consider getting a used one. Way too likely the thin metal tubing will have fatigued from going from the original sale coiled up packaging, then uncoiled for installation use, and back to coiled up for re-packaging for used resale.

Gauging interest to see who might want to cruise up for a Mini fun run in the Ozarks. We usually headquarter in Eureka springs for its central location and reasonable cost for lodging and plenty of restaurants, but we are not bound to it if someone would like to start from somewhere different.

Tentative dates are the second half of May at this point, open to other dates if there are conflicts.

We've done a few of these and always have a great time, the roads in northwestern Arkansas are perfect for Minis, tons of hills and twisties, not much traffic or Leos (not that we speed or anything!) and the weather will be mild and usually sunny.

Let me know if you might be up for this trip and I'll start mapping out runs and potential lodging.

For those who haven't been on one, there are low key, fairly unorganized and designed to just be fun ways to spend time driving our Minis on great roads. Not much else.....
