It looks like a stock E9 temperature gauge custom-converted to an oil pressure/ voltmeter combo. It's really a beautiful and seamless conversion.
I have a 2nd temp gauge that I'm in the process of working on in a similar fashion.

Awesome touch! So much better than the individual add-ons.

The carpenter (who also made some furnitures for my home) made it using the original one as mold.
I gave him €500 for the job.

Apparently, nor do most E9 clocks care either.
Beautiful job on that gauge. Was the conversion price reasonable (by E9 standards)? Matching the lettering with those press-on letter kits is the main challenge for me at least.

Thanks!!Still new on the forum...
Is a name for the type/color that was original and/or something that will compliment the Nardi steering wheel and shift knob?
is there a premium to revert to french walnut, or better to match nardi?
Personal preference if you don't care about originality. Both veneers are likely in the same cost range.
I had a similar problem with my rebuild. I didn't like the color of the Nardi wheel. It is very orange.
I am using Etimoe for my dash and doors. It's a similar color to walnut meaning a warm tone brown.
The Nardi wheels are covered in a finish that is a polyester and it virtually impossible to remove with any type of stripper.
I even took it to a pro friend that had the smoking kind of stripper and it didn't faze it.
I finally used a tool called a furniture scraper. Old school tool that very few people know how to use.
It took me many hours to get the finish off.
I was then able to do some staining or dying to get it to a color that was at least in the same color family. A warm brown.
I then put a finish back on but only an 2 part spray varnish. I may have to do it again later.

looks good. how does this compliment nardi wheel?
In an homage to @paul cain , I did my wood over in carpathian elm burl veneer.
