Thread: Metric (km/h) Speedos

Did they ever have a 1958 speedo in Kmh? I thought Mph is OK for Roadworthy for a 1958?

I am Dutch myself so I am not sure, but I guess that Australia in 1958 was still using Miles!?

Anyway, this I am not sure at all, but there may even be a combination MPH/KM... Otherwise an early series 2 may be backwards compatible? (Although I prefer to keep it original)

I need to fix the speedometer, so I hope I can find a KM... but although I am not sure, I think that you are right and MPH will be OK for a roadworthy and re-registration.

Thanks,

Yes we didn't have KMH til the 70's. Not sure if the later S2a in Aus had KMH - I don't think we changed until the S3.
