The speedo on my Triumph Vitesse MkII has just died. I don't suppose any
of you have an unwanted spare knocking about, do you?
It's a Jaeger 120mph job.

Thanks Bill, but that's an awfully long drive with no speedo. More to
the point, it's a long way with no odometer - something I rely on rather
a lot since my fuel gauge hasn't worked for a while...

Doesn't the Vitesse have a reserve tap? I was sure the Herald did...

Oh yes, and it gets a fair bit of use. Trouble is, you have to get out
and open the boot to operate it. You also have to remember to return it
to the normal position when you fill up again...

Not if you have a passenger in the back seat of a convertible, the
hood is up, and the panel between the hood well and boot is missing.
Been there, done that!
