Country of origin correct.

I've just zoomed in and seen a Pentastar. Christ, do they still use those? It can't be off anything sexy so I will rule out truck and sports car, it doesn't look like my Dad's Voyager dash but does have similarities to the Cruisers that I have had the misfortune to sit in. It's something I presume at the lower end of the range - Neon?

It's the stripped out Dodge Caliper SE, manual windows, steel wheels and very little else.

Who needs a rev counter with a slushbox really? It's nice to have but in a pisswank car it doesn't tell you anything useful.

The only time I've used mine is when setting the base idle.

Only thing mine is really useful for is knowing when it's stopped the fast idle from cold start, as you probably know if you turn a V8 during those couple of mins they tend to flood & are a bugger to restart.

Lacking a rev counter and poorly equipped in other areas by todays standards.
Google comes up with the Museo dello Spedale del Ceppo.

Bulgaralpine, produced in Bulgaria 1967-1969. Unusually attractive conveyance from a communist country.
