On the subject of gauges, my '62 Sprite has a tacho that couldn't be
original (I come to this conclusion from the Japanese sounding brand name
that it sports) which hasn't worked since I've had her - the wiring behind
is a mess. Did all the Sprites come with a tacho as standard? Did the
face change with different years?
I don't think the wing mirror is original either (I come to this conclusion
based on having seen the same mirror at Supercheap Auto) - it's a
rectangular job.
