Is this the daftest speedometer ever?  260 MPH clock in a Cadillac suv? These max-out at less than half that.  I measure 55º between 0 and 70 mph! Be better with a '70s 55 mph speedo...

Still fancy it as my dual purpose daily however: (daily = collecting firewood  and family airport runs)

You can faintly see the km/h light there, below the 130 mark.

 

You press a button to switch between mph and km/h and it recalibrates the speedometer dial's sweep. Annoying for mph users, good for km/h users.

 

Common to most North American and Australian GM vehicles.

It was like that on my CTS. Note that 30mph isn't actually labelled on the speedo, which is really useful and when you are doing 30 it's barely moved.

Lazy american shites.

That dealer sells some proper shite

They really do. (That Astra is spurs or reapers, but if someone drives it off the premises it was sold as a runner so they can't dodge their responsibility even at £300).

The thing is, they look more established than lots of other bombsite traders, which suggests they've got a reputation to protect (they've paid for signage, for example). 

Makes me wonder how many people are being refused repair/refund on the shite heaps they sell, in spite of their statutory obligations as a motor trader. 

Maybe they've just got a really scary, burly salesman who just refuses everything point blank.

If you're only going to add one photograph to your listing , then I suppose you may just as well make it look like a still from 'Can't Pay? We'll Take It away'

They come up frequently in my Gumtree searches. I just assumed they were money laundering or something - it’s not exactly cheap for the rammel on offer.

This is my late fathers beloved Daimler, that he started to convert into a Hot Rod. He was a  very skilled Toolmaker...

Being sold by Sir Kier Starmer?

Thanks, yes, he's been selling that one on and off for a while - people aren't buying Mondeo's right now it seems. Unsure why he can't put an MOT on it. I think there are two MK1's in that family (maybe father and son)

MOT expired on 12 November 2022.

I bet the owner will say it'll fly through an MOT. Because his mate Bob from Donny Town says it will pass, after seeing a picture from 2021 on a Sony Ericsson K800i. 😄
