Title: Identify this Touring Flaminia speedo. Post by: Flamfan on 25 November, 2018, 07:57:44 PM Came across this Touring Flaminia speedometer. The speed is shown in MPH & KPH. Not seen one like that before.
Is it 'factory' or a home made insert ? (https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4900/32176417438_4d2f043c75_b.jpg) Title: Re: Identify this Touring Flaminia speedo. Post by: chriswgawne on 25 November, 2018, 08:03:09 PM Looks like a home made inserted ring possibly?

Although now days you just use a sat-nav, as the flaminia speedo isn't the most accurate when coming face to face with one of the thousands of speed cameras that litter the roads

Standard speedo and RPM markings are heavily applied and three dimensional. That looks printed and flat. I rarely look at my speedo apart from checking water temp,oil temp and pressure. but now always check the rev counter when slowing to a halt. Last year I was braking whilst approaching a junction and experienced what I thought was brake failure. I then realised that the engine had cut out with a loss of servo assistance. Scary moment . Almost put my foot through the floor and the car seemed to take an eternity to stop. :o Title: Re: Identify this Touring Flaminia speedo.
