That's the Scoobymania pod in a '98 with 60mm Defis.

It's a good match, fits well, and is well made. Cost me £80.

Not sure if I'm right here but don't think the 97 model has the tidy tray in the centre of the dash, this is needed to fit the pod in the pic

No, it doesn't. My pic was to show how good the fit and finish are. AFAIK, the 97 model is a bit different in design.

Hi, Can't work out if you've the earlier or later classic, but if its the earlier model Check this one out from Milsport. Does away with the centre vents, which i can live without, & it looks the business. Also saves hacking the car about, so when you come to sell the car you put it all back to original - no damage...

Can probably post some pics of it fitted to my car 2moro if you like...

HTH

I have the same as the JW one above. Fits quite nicely on the early dash
If you take some time to sand the edges down you should be able to get a perfect fit.

Ga555a,
The problem with the Milsort one is it only fits the 93-96 cars as they changed the heater controls from twist style to sliders
