Perhaps, I'm the uniformed one here, or someone is playing a joke on me. When
I look at my dashboard, I see a thin vertical line in the middle of the dash
that goes top to bottom. I always assumed a previous owner had attempted to
redo the dash, but was told by Barry Nelson at the Portland All British meet
this last year that this dashboard appeared in some TR250s and early TR6's.
Basically, Barry indicated that a piece of veneer is split in half and then
unfolded like a book so both sides of the dash have identical wood grain
patterns. At least this is what I understood Barry to tell me. He said this is
something I should try to repair as opposed to replace. Is my leg being pulled
here?

Help the un-informed... what exactly is a "bookend style" dashboard?
