When I found my '82 I noticed the speedometer only went to 85mph. The Jaguars were the same way.. in America we're to go 55mph in the early 80s, so these instruments replaced the Euro ones (a psychological tactic) My '83 went to 120 or something like that. Anyway, I've been 83mph easily on interstate when passing. Don't want to replace my instrument because I plan on keeping this one to get another medallian and consider this speedo to be the "original" for America anyway.. but I miss the higher mileage one.
