I have seen a few GTS dashes in cars and on the speedo`s with KLM and mph (later ones) most seem to have 125mph/200k yet some have 140mph and 220k were both used in GTS ?
I have a 140mph unit which I got about 18 years ago and ran it in a kingswood , it now sits in my display cabinet. just wondering why they had both.
cheers cloudy

Hi cloudy.
Non-GTS HQs got the 120 MPH speedo at release in '71. When they went metric, these became 200 km/h (125 MPH). The GTSs received a 140 MPH speedo in '71 & then a 220 km/h (140 MPH) for the metric cars.
To my knowledge, only the GTSs got th |

Hi Cloudy,
I was just lookin into this when Dr T replied.
Now I only have the Oct 73 Parts book, not the later one, however, speedo guages were split into 5 types. The GTS one is called a Type 4. I can confirm that GTSshow the two ranges 220kmh/120m

In your list you've got the Type 2 (PO U16 - tacho & fuel gauge) as Premier, this is not correct. The Type 2 wa |
