Re: [T3] drive a type 3 around the world!


Hi Volks,

The speedo in my original German purchased/US
converted '65 Notch S is like Greg's (10-30-50-70-100
w/red needle).  Keith might be right about the fitting
of the odd available speedo when our cars were
converted to US specs.  I'll check the date code when
I can get a little dirty, it's still in the car.  

Have a Happy and safe Thankgiving!

Cheers,
