'58 big window with tripmeter speedo Any Info?
A friend was telling me about one today, said it had a chrome looking tripmeter knob, other than that it looked like a normal '58 speedo, clear
needle etc.
Can anyone offer some info? were these an Aus option or, maybe an imported Beetle. John (IN2VWS) have you heard of these?
Regards,
Matt.

There is plenty of them around, but not everyone can afford them.

What sort of price does a genuine one fetch John?
