Speedo Turns Backward

Post by gotoofar2 »

1979 124, third owner,I think. Manual trans. Speed registers when driving backward.
Are there numbers on the trans or nose cone that would shed some light?

Thanks

if the clock and odometer also go backwards, you've got yourself a time machine. think of the possibilities!

That gave me a good laugh this morning :D . I often think of my spider as a time machine when out on a back road drive.
Buon giro a tutti! - enjoy the ride!
