Fan of interesting dashboards? These 10 options should do the trick for under £10,000

Let’s kick off this week’s used car round up with some controversy. The Multipla might be horrendous to look at outside, but at least it’s interesting on the inside. Well, ‘interesting’ is one word for it. Anyway, here’s one for just £1,500.

It’s buttons galore right across the face of this 300ZX Targa’s dashboard, with the higher dials pointing toward the driver for a touch more convenience. Most of the buttons even have words attached corresponding to function, so even your nan should be fine in here.

Moving on to a few modern options, here’s a second-gen TT RS. Yes, we know, the dashboard looks so good you’d be forgiven for thinking it's still being produced today. We’re also big fans of the temperature dials located lower down, which provide a very satisfying sensation when operated. 

Or, if you want something that’s just as fun to drive as the TT while abandoning the infotainment screen for more retro-ness, why not take a punt on this Honda S2000? We must warn you though: the digital RPM bar may become an unhealthy obsession.

As fun as digitalisation is though, we appreciate spartan-ification here at TG. And it doesn’t get much more Spartan than the Citroen 2CV. There’s one big speedometer within two inches of your face, a radio beside it… and not much else. You’ll get two big storage compartments in the dash too - what else do you need?

A car that was way ahead of its time, partially thanks to the neat dash which both looks great and provides easy access to any and every command. Some examples, such as this one, even get generous amounts of grainy wood for that ‘ohh, this is nice’ comment from your in laws.

Though the screaming Busso V6 in the 147 GTA may take centre stage, its interior - and in particular that dashboard - is still a big plus point. It might be outdated these days, but it's minimalistic and to the point; exactly what you want in a rorty hatch.

TVRs are flamboyant cars, exemplified by the often loud interior colours and the even louder dashboard layouts. The centre console in this Chimaera is so thick it essentially means each passenger is in their own cabin. And for the driver, it’s a cabin filled to the brim with many circular things in front of them. 

Like the 147, the Fiat Coupe isn’t a car purchased for its interior. That’s not because it isn’t any good, but rather, the engine overshadows everything else. Browsing over this example’s colourful and tidy layout, you can’t help but feel it’s an unsung bit of design though.

A classic Masser with blue dials, brown wood and black upholstery. What a place to sit and wonder. And occasionally go for a drive.
