Anyone ever hear of a 200mph speedo

I agree it must be a Euro-spec. Here's a cool 160 mph one though:

He pretty much says that in the ad. I never considered it to be anything but a new sticker on the face.

200 mph speedo in '72 H/O
The story told says they were made for testing at Indy with the '72 H/O which Hurst installed them in a couple cars. Supposedly installation was hidden due to speedometers not being Fed cert as OEM components. Don't know the part number but told it has one which falls in line with other speedo #s though omitted from the part's manual. Speedo also has an inline transducer. Doc Watson confirmed that about a dozen or so of these speedometers were made.
Who knows how it or any of them ended up in the cars but suspect some of the spare speedos found there way into dealer's hands or something.
Something I notice it also has the rare speed warning. Found UB7 (Speedometer Pkg Trip Odometer & speed warning) option available in '72 but most likely B & C cars. Cannot find any option for U15 (Safety Sentinal) past '70.

But the U15 Safety Sentinel option seems not to continue after 1970. So speed warning not available in '71 & up "A" cars?.
