Probably the fake chrome that preceded the 1978-1981
wood grain horror that came on most Sciroccos. I like
that cluster even better than the black ones used on
the "S" and similar models.

Standard early Mk1 fare.

All U.S. Sciroccos came from the factory with tachs in
the instrument cluster (you know, next to the speedo).

This was available from the dealer. It was also
applied to the 1976.5 "Super Scirocco" (fuel
injected), which was a preview of the 1977 Scirocco
(1976 models began with carbs)

similar Scirocco in 1977!)
