Daniel ,
I recently found a piece of Mahogany , probably 40 years old .
With a clear varnish it is a matching colour and similar grain to the old wooden dash panels I have .
BAC would have just stained the various pieces to match a colour for each individual car .
I'm certainly not a timber expert but if the English Walnut matches the grain & colour I would use it .

Do you have a RHD steel dash frame to convert the car as I have a spare , it would be a real project to modify you frame from LHD to RHD .
I'm located in Australia but could have a way of getting it to England at the end of this year .

Your 400/127 certainly looks nice in its new Green livery

Regards
Geoff
