Re: What The Hell Is A "Nuova Didoni"?
Ignoring anything I say is always a sound strategy!
Re: What The Hell Is A "Nuova Didoni"?
Is that the same strategy in work Chris? :eek:
Re: What The Hell Is A "Nuova Didoni"?
Well, I tried to find an answer to your question, but came up short, I knew 'nuova' means 'new', but the only two things that I could find on 'Didoni' is that it is a font type or an old Italian family name. So it could be the font type for the gauge, but why would they print that on the gauge.

That's all I've come up with so far too. It says Veglia on the back (which is how I found it in the first place) but I'm still trying to find the original fitment in case there are more out there waiting to be found.

Re: What The Hell Is A "Nuova Didoni"?
Well I've finally had a reply from the seller who told me it came out of a mid '80s March Indycar. i guess that makes it rarer that a Gp4 Stratos... but I still don't know what a "Nuova Didoni" is/was!

Re: What The Hell Is A "Nuova Didoni"?
Hi Guy, i spoke to Roberto about it and he says he's never heard of Didoni and it doesn't directly translate. He suggested it might have been made for a commercial vehicle like a tractor.

This guy seems to produce replica Veglia guages Italparts (look under guages Veglia). I haven't a clue how much he charges for them. Could be an expensive group buy.
Does Roberto have a source for the GRPIV guages?

My guess is it's a special to order jobbie just like the Gp4 gauges. I'll email Roberto sometime soon to see if he supplies the remainder of the gauges, won;t be cheap but might be better than scratch building them myself!
