So they're not really OK then.

Although it does have brake fluid in the reservoir, which puts it above 90% of P6s...

I like the aftermarket rev counter too, although perhaps surplus to requirements given that the P6 engine leaves you in no doubt as to how hard you are revving it.

That’s what you got if you wanted a tacho with your strip-speedo. 
Did anyone ever do a strip tachometer?

Thought so. As the 2000SC carried on with the strip speedo throughout production.

RHD, amber rear indicators, US numberplate geometry. What is going on here?

These were available from new in RHD, but the number-plate mounting points were designed into the car so that explains the plate size.  America has rarely gone in for the one-size-fits-all oversize openings used on, say, the back of the XJ6.

MoT failure Panda for £250. Doubt it would take you half a day to fix (usual sills problem) and the other bits aren't financially ruining. If it wasn't so far from me it would be in my drive as my last one had similar problems.
