Why Mini's Have the Speedo in the Center of the Dash

Mini Ever wonder why Mini's have their speedometer in the center of the dashboard?

"During the painting of the shell, a rod was inserted straight through the car allowing the shell to be spun round as it was painted.

The speedometer was originally put in the middle of the dashboard, cleverly covering the hole where the pole went."

From A Design Classic by James Dyson.
