    Sounds 'bout right. Pops speedo was the same size as the tachs, 3" I think. Had his in '78-'79.

  12. My old Anglia had a complete set of Sun guages including the speedo pictured above. They looked so "right" in that car.

    On a shelf at my dads house and not sure if it's something he'd let go. It is NOS but a little sticky and may just need a drop or two of oil on the cable end to free it up but I haven't got around to it yet.
