Fantastic car - but was something wrong with the speedo or tacho - barely moved off zero?

Good catch ; ) 🤡something many hate but I would like to do kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3aUg6ykpcyAiLs and I'm not at all a Greta thunberg fan.

They forgot to fix the speedometer!!!!

Banging on about how wonderful the old machine is…total restoration and all that and the damn speedo don’t work! Also the fella driving must be wearing a cheap jacket because a well fitted jacket wouldn’t ride up your neck like that either! Lovely car but should check little things work before you wax lyrical about a perfection which simply isn’t present here.
