OK Everyone;
Put your thinking caps on.

This is not a quiz !!!

I would like to know where this Tacho came from.
(other than the third shelf at the back of my garage)
Anyone have any ideas.
It has 2 mounting tags, and I'm pretty sure it's from something british.

Thanks, John.

what does the "made in" statement under the RPM say?

Any branding or other script?

After the made in the writing is obscured by the metal band under the glass.
If I have no luck, I will pull it apart and have a look for part numbers.

Looks like something out of a sportier Rootes product so probably out of a Sunbeam Rapier or similar.

I think a mate of mine had one like that out of a Hillman Hunter.

I'm going to ring the speedo repair people,
and see how I go sending them the pic.

YES YES I GOT IT the third shelf at the back of your garage

Oh my god you're an idiot.

Anyway, with the "negative earth" deal I think you can't be wrong thinking it's old and British. It might be worth putting it up on a different old British forum??

I think it is from a Sunbeam Alpine or as someone else said a rootes product if the bezel on the outside was chrome it would definately be.

Looks very much like the Hillman Hunter tach I fitted to my Mk 2 S in early 80's.

Indeed. It looks just like the one in the Hillman Hunter I looked at this morning!
