There was an alternative dash from old Quantum, and although it was stated as being for the 2+2, it wasn't for the saloon as far as I know - don't know if there's a reason which I can't think of, as if they both accept mk2 dash then there should be no problem.

Meant to say also - I think the 2+2 is still a really nice looking car and with Eddie working on updating the front end, it will look even better - the area that lets is down is undoubtedly the dash. You can make subtle changes to it but it really needs changed to update the car. Quantum are unlikely to invest in the 2+2 as they seem to be concentrating on the Xtreme. Maybe it's a project for Eddie to design a grp unit? I'm sure there would be lots of interest in it.
