Is this a quiz, or do you genuinely not know?

It could be an interface of some sort, e.g. for music, security, mapping. Can you show us any more?

e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)

And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

The crafted metal enclosure is intriguing, and well fitted, but obviously not designed to go there. Hard disk maybe?

I think Andrew and Goran are along the right lines - I'll say no more as I suspect I know

Well, I just don't know so I'm not going to guess any more.
But the engineering looks more "workshop" than "consumer", so more likely something of technical nature, so maybe a predecessor to OBD-II?
