European Speedo Group Buy

Recommended Posts

Ok so I am setting up a group buy for European speedos from the UK that show mph up to either 155 or 160. For the 850 there are two types as far as I know, one for the cars that have the speed sensor on the transmissions (they go up to 155mph - '95 and before) and one for the cars that have the speed sensor on the wheels (up to 160mph - '96 and '97 models). You will need to specify which one you want. I am also trying to get the S/V/70 speedos that go up to 160mph - no word yet on whether I can get the R version or not but I am trying.

This is currently just a feeler but I need to know a general amount so I can find out how much I can get them for in bulk. Please start a list in the usual fashion if you would be interested in one. The price I am hoping is going to be below $100 but at this time I am just not certain so don't hold me to it. That price would not include shipping within the US either. Putting your name here does not obligate you to purchase one - this is just to gauge interest.

CJ has the 155mph speedo and you can view that in Show Room. Please note the numbers for the gas tank are different due to European gallons being larger than american ones.

I will post pics here later on.

Thanks guys.

They use Liters over there it has something to do with the metric system. Like a royale with cheese.

It's not just the litres, the gallons are in imperial gallons not US gallons.

The trip computer did not come with it.

In The UK they use imperial gallons; 1 US gallon = .83 Gallon UK. ;) I have a UK 160mph (260 kilometers on the inner scale) speedo in my 98 V-70R and let me tell you it is not cheap!! :( I love it though!!! :rolleyes: The Continental (EU) speedometers are in kilometers and can be programmed to work in the US instruments but they have no miles scale on the inside. The 99 and up uses a different part # so be careful when you order.

The 850s?? I don’t F*&^ing know!!!! :huh:

I am still doing some reseach on this. None of the speedos will come with the trip computer except possibly the s/v/70 ones.

Again, price is not certain yet either. I am going to buy one for my car to test out first.

there's no way you could get it for less than 100

I was quoted 750

"To replace the instrument cluster with a V70R style you will need three

parts.

1. speedometer - 268.00

2. tachometer - 240.00

3. fuel gauge - 215.00

in other words its about 750.00 to get the V70R look.

If you are still interested please let us know."
