Ive had a bid as there so rare there worth keeping, if anyone wants them for their car (as I will just keep them for posterity) let me know and you can have them for whatever I win them for If I win them.

With the exception of the GT, which had some rather fetching dials (which I believe are unique)

Dials in the GT are lifted from the mk2 CX IIRC

They do look very similar Kitch, funny that the Mk1 speedos dont suffer the same wobbles as Mk2s. I know there a different set up but I would imagine the speedo cable is routed in the same way?

They do wobble....the GT ones anyway. They whistle and click too!

They don't wobble when you wind em up though

Very silly doing 5000+ revs on a flat cold engine

Also doing 110 mph on an empty tank is only going to get you achy feet

How is it a cold engine?

And the tank wasn't empty, it had £10 in it

Thats actually the oil level gauge, but agreed, 110mph

good job PC Knacker had the night off eh!

It wasn't on the public highway chaps

For a start, I wouldn't drive at those speeds and take a pic if it was....it'd be evidence

In fact, I didn't take the pic.

We believe you.... the judge though.....

I took a magic shot of the TD hitting 142 whilst driving it, GPS, not speedo, obviousley on private land

If and when I get a scanner I'll bore you all with it!
