In spite of what the seller says, the box clearly says "VDO." I think this is 
just a very nice NOS VDO aftermarket tach. I'm surprised that you can't see 
"VDO" at the bottom of the dial, but perhaps it is there, just not visible at 
this angle.

The thing that really surprises me is the lack of type 3 mounting clips, which 
I thought these had, and I think Russ confirmed this a couple days ago. This 
makes me wonder if this particular model was actually made to match a different 
VW. They made such tachs for lots of cars.

It would certainly be disappointing to spend $216+ on this tach and find that 
it didn't actually fit the hole in a type 3 dash.  ;-(
