Check my swap meet pictures for one. It's in a (real!) 73 RS...
A friend of mine has an imported 914-6 with a Km/H speedometer. I have occasionally (very rarely) seen them for sale at swap meets. --DD |

If you want one, have it calibrated to your car, and the face rescreened...

QUOTE(Jeroen @ Jun 2 2003, 03:40 PM) We have been metric in Canada since the mid/late seventies, I think the USA and UK are the last hold outs. Once you know the metric system it is easier, but some of the old farts hate change. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I've driven old VW's (and now a teen) all my driving life, so I convert MPH to KPH without even thinking about it. Getting a KPH speedo is not high on my round-tuit list. |
