Thanks for that Byron,

I know you are keeping material for your book so we appreciate your input.

PS these types of threads help everybody understand better what was in/out on these vehicles. Much better than argueing numbers.

Guys..... the first (TOP) pic is an original GTS dash in a HQ Sandman van with its original 140mph/220kph GTS speedo in it.

The second pic is the brochure pic and I did state ... Assuming it is not a mock up.... I was simply shit stirring Byron... hence... LOL

I didn't even take it as sh!t stirring! I thought you were demonstrating how misconceptions come about! You can also see my words in brackets: or at least was supposed to have it. I know a few supposed original cars have not have had the right speedo. I reckon either those have had replacements at some stage or for some other reason they missed getting the right speedo, OR possibly have incorrectly been identified as a Sandman when they are not?

hmmmm maybe we should go back to numbers. haha

This went through on Ebay. These are probably the cause of the ugly font speedos around.

Aah, I remember them well . . . Only old men bought them at the time, I'm sure. Hang on, now I am one!

Looks like I need to find a 220KPH SPEEDO, at least I will have a couple of 200KPH's to trade.

Does anybody on the forum actually have a HQ speedo with the original QX sticker in place?? And if so what does the face look like . .

First chance I have had to have a look at the speedo in mine to check what it is, and it is a 220kph one.

Is it possible to check if the sticker is still on the back?? Should be QX I believe ..
