100mph cooper speedo indentation

Post by Tweedgreymk1 »

Hi could anyone shed any light on what this speedo is for me?thanks
It looks like 100mph dead face, but I've not come across a 5 digit mileometer and red indictions.
Also doesn't seem to have any identification numbers on it anywhere, could this be a certain cooper speedo or just a mix mash of parts tia

Perhaps early 997 Cooper given the 5 digit Milometer then with modifications to the face.. Has it been restored ?

Was that one of several sold as a job lot last week on eBay?

Looks like an early 997 5 digit with gear markings added. Is there an SN number?

Definitely an early 997 outer dial with the gear change markings added, just not sure if the inner dial has been changed or the sn numbers have worn off. I’ve seen the SN numbers marked on the inside if you can strip it. ;)

Yeh I may take it apart for further investigation,
Under the mph it just says made in England there is definitely no numbers anywhere on the face of the dial or in the center part
Thanks everyone
