I'm not sure about MGA's, but I believe the dual gauge was used on MG
Midgets through the end of production in 1979...Gower Oaks (the UK
distributor for CAI/Smiths) has a much more comprehensive selection of
gauges than XK's Unlimited. For instance: Smiths currently manufactures the
full range of Spitfire MkIV & 1500 gauges, but XK's Unlimited's catalogue
breathes not a word of this secret...
