    There is an extensive speedo thread here somewhere...
    http://www.mysandman.com.au/forums/s...ghlight=speedo

    There were lots of sticker sets around to change your speedo.

    I think they worked out in HQ it went some thing like this.
    Normal speedo 120mph. Optioned U61 still only had std speedo. HQ SS has standard speedo. HQ GTS 2-door had 140mph with Tacho needle.
    Around the 72/73 change they went mph/kph. HQ 2&4-door GTS got 140/220 speedos.
    somewhere in 74 kph only. Sandman had the same as the HQ GTS4 with the 220kph.
