I saw this on eBay and had to laugh.

Yes, that's right; Km/h speedo with Miles above the odometer numbers.

The seller isn't claiming it's genuine, so no issues there.

I just found it funny that someone went to all the trouble of creating an AMG 300 Km/h dial and mixed miles and kilometers.

There's a guy in Oregon that makes ebay fakes by pushing the limits of the gauge travel the max:

Guys, please don't give this Springfield, Oregon guy any more business over ebay. Seems the work is getting sloppier but the price is jumping up another $200 a pop. And people are eating this crap all up.

Mercedes W126 560SEC 560SEL 190 MPH AMG Speedometer Cluster Tacho with ASR | eBay

Its all in the details.

The guy made an E36 convertible clone and thought he'd make custom faceplates for it, pre-assembled. Threw a few variations on eBay, what do you know, people SCOOPED them up!

Stop buying this utter JUNK!

I've seen a few piece-together cars advertised to be "AMG"'s already cuz of this shit.

The real thing is posted for comparison.

I'll give him credit though - he seems to have access to some pretty good silkscreening or overlay equipment - its just the Photoshop work thats all screwed up.

Stock Mercedes-Benz VDO speedometers are sufficient for the posted speed limits on all American highways.

The Autobahn is another matter completely...

I bought some face plates off him ages ago and ditched them as they smudged as soon as you handled them. I have one of Henrics replica's plus an original 8,000 RPM i scored a few yrs ago that is very slightly faded

Even more annoying is that the slots on the little screws that hold the dial on are NOT IN LINE!! ;-)
(NOT British sarcasm) I really like to see screw slots in line... LOL
