hi guys, i have a different Speedo I haven’t seen before, it’s in a 1967 beetle. would this be the original Speedo? i haven’t seen one before like this. might keep it for me 1960 build. any chance this could have came out in 1960? lol

input would be great....

It's just an ordinary aussie VDO 60-67 Beetle speedo, its just got one of the KM/H overlays fitted.

The build date will be stamped into the back of it.

It's not a sticker, they would have had to open speedo up to change face. Would this be the case?

Not a sticker or complete face but a metal ring with the KHP printing on it laid over the top of the OE MPH face.

Thank you. They are made very well. Much better then a sticker. I knew someone on here would have an idea.

Thanks again.

Yes, glued to the face is much better than a sticker.

I fitted quite a few of the stickers to the inside dial over the years,they looked good as long as you cleaned the face up and lined it up but I have seen a lot of the stickers on the glass.
