Yep they are on the 70's to mid 80's Jag sedans.  Wait a second I thought
spits used Jaguer gauges?  Anyway they do look perfect, but hope that the oil
pressure switch never dies.  I went to a car parts place for one when I was
doing this for my GT6 seems that the Jag item is around $100!  So I bought an
aftermarket oil pressure guage removed the "Smiths" black background and
viola, a cheap aftermarket that has that "authentic" look, well kinda.
