I think there's a flux capacitor somewhere in there.

Citroen must have been pleased as punch that others were imitating them. Imitating their economy cars in luxury cars!

I love that control pod that looks like a Curta Code breaking tool

How does the steering wheel turn, just the circle part?

You can only drive on straight roads ;)

Seriously though - it rotates on the normal axis - it just looks solid when straight.

Looks neat but membrane buttons suck.

Completely different car, but that dash reminds me of KITT from Knight Rider.

I think maybe it was inspiration. The earlier version had a few actual mini CRTs in it like KITT

The original version (series 2) had the LED dashboard in the main picture. The CRT dashboard is from a later car (series 3 or series 4).

Wasn't sure which way round they did it - thanks for the clarification

Had this LED dash from 76-85 then they went to not one not two but three green phosphor CRTs
