With a bit of fiddling about, yes.There are many after-market alternatives as well, or you could make your own. Drawbacks of the dash you are talking about are a very small glovebox and no other storage; and an instrument binnacle which hides the lower half of its dials beneath the steering wheel rim... not to mention the oil pressure warning light!

Just checked the dash for my friend, it is a perfect fit between the door seals, but 15mm higher in the middle, when measured top to bottom across the radio hole, so it looks like a little fine tuning with a jig saw is called for, Fitzy

Thanks. All a few years old now. Spent a summer photogrphing as many Mnis as possible at the Silverstone 40th anniversary, Mini in the Park and on the Riviera run. Most variants covered, I think, but no two Minis are the same .

At last, had to manufacture new retaining clamps, just like the after market dashes, also had to loosen the 3 top dash retaining nuts, then lift the top dash section as high as possible, put the Cooper dash in place, then tighten down the top dash nuts, it went in but was a bit of a struggle, Fitzy
