No, I don't think so, primarily because the Spitfire's dash has been split
into three pieces since 1971 (1969 in "Federal" cars), and it's only been
wood veneer finish since 1973 (if you don't count the early Mk.3 center
instrument cluster wood bit). I suspect that ease and economy of
manufacture and, to some degree, owner/mechanic servicing were the more
likely reasons for the three-piece dash on the Spitfire and GT6.
