Hey guys,

This isnt concerning VW's but out of curiosity i was wondering what cars had those speedos where the needle was like verticall and slid to the right when accelerating?

Thanx

i seen a merc that had it, some weird shit

steve

My Borgward Isabella TS had it, it was cool, I used to know a few other cars also, but have forgotten them at the moment

My old MG 1300 has one

didnt xm & xp falcons have them too??

yup I remember Mercs having them

yeah early falcons has something similar not exactly just a horizontal job from memory but its been a long time since ive been in my mates xm

fifties chevs as well

1978 Ford LTD have them.

It was like a bar that travelled across a strip as the cars speed increased.

It was kinda cool, but if you stopped quick or accelerated fast the speedo lagged behind a couple of seconds.

some of the Holdens had them too.... 1963-64

I could never figger out how they worked....

I suppose they did it... because they could.....

no other reason....:P:P:P

and I still don't know how they did it....:P:P:P

they still amaze Me...

It was a ribbon (I think they were called ribbon speedos)!

My 1969 datsun supersix has a red line that just keeps going to the right (solid). Works by simpy rotating a cylinder. not quite the same... but similar
r, jr

Fiats 1100 up to 1500 had them

I trying to covince my Bro to put one in his type 3
