[Healeys] BN1 speedo

[Peter & Veronica]

Gbday list

Yesterday we had our Queensland club Christmas lunch. We drove the BN1 based
Ward Special about 100km (60 miles) each way. A few miles from the venue, I
noticed the speedo was reading 120 miles an  hour (itbs a 140 mph speedo) We
were in fact doing about 40. On the way back, eventually the needle went off
the scale and ended up against the back side of the stop. Currently itbs
indicating a tad over 140mph, with the car sitting in the garage! I had the
speedo recalibrated when I got the car about 7 years ago, as it hadnbt been
changed to account for the carbs 3.54 diff. Since then itbs been pretty
accurate and the needle quite steady. Any ideas as to whatbs happened?

Cheers
