Very Rare 1960 European model VW Bug 140 KMH Speedometer with 7 Kms in Victoria, British Columbia for sale

$150

Rare Volkswagen (VW) German 140 KMH Speedometer like new with only 7 Kilometers registered.
I cannot guarantee whether it is in perfect operational order.
I can only describe what I see and know and it looks like new.
Type I / Bug 1958/67
It is questionable if it would fit models pre-1958.
Date Stamped 12/60 in original box with matching serial numbers.
My father purchased this item in the 1970's in Germany for my sister's 1959 VW bug, but never installed it. It has been in storage ever since then.

5. August 1960 - July 1962
VW made a few adjustments to this speedometer. The clear rate of travel needle was deleted and a white, solid needle was used. VW deleted the gearshift indication markings, it was now up to the pilot to decide and when to change gears!! Speedometers produced from May 1962 are now equipped with a green cell for directional indication, previous models used red. In addition, all European destined automobiles were equipped with a red line inscribed onto the 50 K/hr mark, which served as a reminder for European local speed limits. The range for the rate of travel measurement was adjusted to compensate for a newly adapted engine and transmission. The speedometer now measures 0-140 kilometers per hour or 0-90 miles per hour. The unit depicted features an optional trip meter, which is not present in production model vehicles.
These sell for between $225-$300 US.
Currently an identical re-conditioned speedometer is listed for sale for £280 = C$471
