Vintage dials, but what are they from???

Not 275 or 330, they have black plastic rims.

Looks like 250. Also post this on Tom Yang's site (www.tomyang.net), you should get a detailed answer.

I agree, definitely from the 250 period...through 1964.

The 250 Lusso Berlinetta's last year as a production model was 1964 and it had this style of instruments; the 330 2+2, 275GTS, and 275GTB, which were introduced as a 1964 models, had the later style which was used throughout the 1960's and early 1970's, at least on production street cars.

This later style had deep black plastic rims as well as a new dial-face design, with the needles on the smaller instruments pivoting from the bottom.

 

For some reason the tach and speedo don't look quite right to me. They look like they are from some other car and have the dials redone with Ferrari logos. I could be wrong, but something just doesn't look right.

Specifically, the Ferrari scripts look too big.

They're also Jaeger..British made...per the small logo on top of the dials. I don't know if these were ever used by Ferrari...you need more of an expert on that.

 

I am thinking these are Bogus! They look like TR-4 guages that have had new faces silk screened. I have never seen a Ferrari accept that type of capilary tube. Furthermore Smiths guages changed in design fundamentally around 1965 or 66, the upper part of the needle began shrouded where as earlier models the needle was completely visable.
These are the later type... I cannot recall Ferrari
ever using Smith's instruments, Jaeger yes, Smith's no.

If these were from a very old Ferrari do you think the speedo would be in MPH? I do acknowledge that TR-4's did not have a 160 MPH speedo, nor were they redlined at 7000.

To add to the confusion the minor instruments are in Metric, these could be out of a Maserati, perhaps a Mistral.

Maybe these were for a some sort of Special, but I rather doubt it. They are obviously NOS or else have been reconditioned...

 

I was thinking that too. The Ferrari script does not look right.

 

one of those Datsun Z Ferrari GTO things

They would be from an early 50's car due to the capillary tube type thermometer. In the mid 1950's Ferrari started using electric sensors.

Good eye John, but they don't look like the guages I've seen on early cars.

Where are Tom S. and Marcel? They would probobly know the serial number of the vehicle these are from - real or fake!

Is it possible they are from that ugly 212 which had English Abbott coachwork circa 1952??

 

Honestly, I think these are Smiths gauges, silk screened with the words Jaeger and Ferrari. They probably came from a British car and were modified for a replica.

Early kit car guages. More info via PM. Value, not much at all.

You could put them on Ebay and hope for a sucker. Then when they discover they have no value, you can just sign up for a new account. After all, that's why you posted here right? Your looking to sell them.

 

Hello all,

Look like typical Maserati 3500, Sebring or Mistral gauges as pointed out before(flaviaman).....

Maserati's of the 60's were fitted with these types of gauges from Jaeger....

Smiths gauges were used on the Ferrari in Ferris Bueller's Day off!

 

I've seen those smaller gauges used in Innocenti cars

 

I agree with the view that these are British gauges. On top of that the F in the Ferrari logo is not the correct size.

Fakes......

 

Don't know what the Italians or British did, but many of the early Corvette gauges will have a date stamped on the back with black ink. Any dates anywhere?

 

These are not from 250 Lusso's, which are white faced for early and black faced from later. Veglia supplied the gauges for the 250, 275, 330, 365, 500, etc.

 

I believe that those are likely customized products from Caerbont Automotive Instruments (CAI), the company that currently makes Smiths instruments. The CAI products are commonly used on Cobra reproductions and others.

CAI also makes many custom applications, some of which can be found at popular resto/repro parts sites like Re-Originals.
