I want a little digital clock to stick on the dash in the VX. Smallish but with good size digits for a slightly visually (reading glasses) person. It would be handy if it also had a timer on it (but not obvous!)
Any suggestions?

I have been trying to work out where to fit a clock from a 95 Fiesta, but can't come up with anything that won't look awful.
The size is good, and its simple enough. Pixel display would suit better though.

MG ZR ZS or Rover equivalents could also be an option.

Good old ads for digital clocks have started appearing on this thread 
There are lots of suitable clocks out there and lots of timers but I really want a clock with a timer facility. Also a outside temp gauge would be nice.

Plenty to choose from on ebay like this, not sure they have a timer function though.
I bought this from a BMW with the intention of setting it into the dash but never got round to it -

When you say timer do you mean stopwatch?

Harry's lap timer for iPhone, think that's what it's called. Plus you get all the gps wizardry that logs your run in the ap

Many stereos have clocks?
Some do temp.
Not sure on timers though.

Nice thing about my VX: No need for outside temp guage. Its exactly the same temperature inside as out. If I could just find a way to stop my glasses steaming up, i could just wear a watch and 'job dun', as they say in Norfolk.
