    I have this speedometer and I wonder if anyone can tell me what car and year it comes from? ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1406834277.923816.jpg

    Look near bottom of face for lettering MPH or KPH... that's real high for miles, but around 80 in metric, suitable for a small foreign chug like an Opel. In fact I would start searching with Opel...
     
  4. I see AC on the instrument panel which is possibly a indication of Auto Carriers Ltd. one of the oldest car manufacturers in Britain. HRP
     

  5. It definatly has that British look to me, we had/have a lot of British cars over here and that gauge cluster looks very familiar, Maybe early Ford Zephyr - Zodiac??

  6. Almost certainly British just from the look of it. English language, MPH speedo (135 KPH is too low for anything other than a 2CV, and that is NOT a 2CV speedo), and general austere look to it, suiting English postwar cars. I'm betting mid to late 50's.
