I thought we figured out that VW made a transparent sticker that 
had Km/hr on it which was stuck over the face of the mi/hr speedo. 
That way all the owner had to do was peel off the sticker when he 
got home and nothing else had to change. This struck me as 
tremendously practical, plus easy and better for keeping track of 
the total mileage on the car.

I'm pretty sure we had someone here who had such a sticker on a 
tourist delivery car. Of course, it's possible that VW hadn't come 
up with this clever solution in the early years.
