it maybe just the way the photo appears to look brochure like instead of real time. Although its obviously a real pic because of the background metal buildings etc. I had mentioned early in the post that picture of all stood out to me most, the needles appear way to red, but i will be optimistic about the whole mess and assume its real. But for 27k you can go off the pics and pay for shipping, so 30k later you too could doctor up some pics if need be to resell later in the states with only a 15k loss. --- John Jaranson <jaransonT3@comcast.net> wrote: > > On Feb 25, 2004, at 7:25 PM, Keith Park wrote: > > > That speedo looks odd... oddly wrong, the font of > the numbers is wrong. > > Anybody seen this before in a real early speedo?? > > > > If you were referring to the speedo in this > picture.... > > http://public.fotki.com/scott7174/1962_notchback/instruments.html > > ...it has clearly been PhotoShopped.
