Rare IROC option

Found this option on a special version IROC made for an English cousin to the family owned Jaguar Co. Made of solid Mahagony.
Cool huh!

I was only joking. I made the dash panel and consol lid myself. Solid mahagony with highly polished fiberglass resin finish.
Don't think you have to worry about wanting one, cause no one makes em. And it requires a lot of machine work to make it fit. The lid is made of 3 layers of 3/4" mahagony then routed and machined to accept the hinge. The dash is made from 3/4" as well, then I planned off about 1/2" for the flat area, then it has a reverse curve farring out to a knife edge at the bottom. Fits right inside the flat area of the dash. Too much work to do these and sell them.
I'm not sure how much I like wood in my car, but I love having something that makes it definitely unique and one of a kind.

Definetly unique. The steering wheel in my mom's 87 would match perfectly with your new additions It would be cool if you did that for the radio bezel and shift plate.

Hi Mike,
