Speedo on TR6

        When I first bought my TR6, I was talking with the mechanic that
        had maintained it(previous owner didn't know how to use a screwdriver.
        This guy even changed wiper blades for him!). He told me that, as is
        true with most British sports cars,that the tach and speedo indicate 
        the SAME position on the dials in top gear. I don't have an OD so I 
        don't know if this would apply in that case, but my gauges do this 
        very thing. In top gear, the speedo and tach register at exactly the 
        same tic marks(my gauges have the same tic graduations)! Therefore,
        If my speedo went on the blink I could look at the tach indication 
        and surmise the speed. I was impressed.


        Was this guy right about non-TRs?
