That's likely 60 C.....

Yup - right in range. If you look @ the gauge the line to the outside edge
(if it's an original gauge) gets thicker from 100 10 110C and much heavier
after that - those are the warning and "uh-oh" ranges.
It is very hard to overheat a Series Rover unless you're working it very
hard....they are rather overcooled (which is a good thing in the Summer).
THe actual temperature that the gauge reads is determined by the thermostat
rating - that being the bit that regualtes the water flow to the cooling
system. Which one do you have fitted? Depending on that, add 5 degrees or
so and that's the neighborhood you should be in.
Considering the average accuracy of a Series gauge, however, I wouldn't
worry about it either way. As long as it's in the normal range and stable
you should be fine.
