Speedometer again. SN4479/10 140mph

Hi, all
I've had this speedo for some years now, and asking you to please help me identify this as I cannot find similar numbers in Parnell's book.
Must have come from an imported car to one of the Nordic countries - and had a silly 200 kph sticker over covering the mph.
SN4479/10 and 1408 (3.76)

Is it worth getting refurbished?
Seems its missing one of the counters - or maybe just a dummy/empty slot.
Took the glass of only to remove the sticker.
Any help is much appreciated!

It's not in John's book because it isn't a Cooper or Cooper S speedo. Standard Mini KPH speedo equivalent to 90 MPH.

The centre disc with SN details is from a May 62 to Oct 63 850 with 1408 TPM.

Thanks, Nick.
We should wait for his next book on "normal" mk1, then
Actually, its MPH now. All the way till 140 mph.
The sticker (which i have now removed) was 200 kph....
Can it be a streetmix with KPH backplate on a 63 850ccm center, then?

That is exactly what I too tought...
as the "140" was a a standard 998 and 850 Mini's max. speedo reading in kph. IIRC

Somerford has a good list of speedos. Yours is listed as a mph black
http://www.somerfordmini.co.uk/eshop/in ... page&id=83
Your inner is marked 1408 which is turns per mile for a 3.76 diff
A Euro spec car would have a 140kph speedo with 880 turns per km (and marked kph too) and a different code
