My 86 SL has a clock dash, but my brother's 88 Exec has one too???? I thought Autos from the Exec onwards, were tacho dashes. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

my factory sl manual n/a has a clock.. i had an auto bt1 (sl base) n/a (factory) that had the tacho/oil pressure/volts setup... interesting. So it's not only a turbo option but a bt1 option as well.

SL and Exec had the large clock as standard equipment regardless of engine or gearbox choice. The Tacho/full instrumentation dash was an option for these models so it is possible many of them were ordered with the better dash. Corsa
