Subject: Re: Black or Chrome Instrument Bezels?
I did some research around 16 years ago when I was replacing missing gauges on my 2 Litre and I am pretty certain that Lagonda went with Centigrade. Certainly on the oval dash cars as I have many photos of such. The LG45 is also in centigrade.
However, other manufacturers went with Fahrenheit ( for example MG, if I recall correctly, and Austin in the post war period were using Smith instruments showing Fahrenheit)
Having experienced both, my view is that Centigrade markings are much clearer on the gauge. However, it is possibly Lagonda would respond to a customer requesting Fahrenheit...
