I could be wrong but I've got a feeling its probably from lots of 60's british stuff.
I'm pretty sure my grandad used to have ones just like it in an old BMC van and a Morris travelling shop.

Very similar to that of many British cars like Minis and Minors but both those are calibrated up to higher speeds. The fact that it's got km markings suggests it's not that old. Maybe passmethegun's van theory is on the right track?

Almost certainly commercial anyway, as it's only calibrated to 70mph but is late enough to have Metric markings as well. |

Maybe passmethegun's van theory is on the right track? I know Minors had the km sclae on them from about 1969 onwards. I'd hazard a guess that the rest of the BMC/BL range followed siut about the same time. I've got a feeling that it's from an FG truck. |
