I was more than a little surprised, just this morning, to find that in
my local branch of Halfords, for a mere £3.99, I can buy a handy guide
to stick on my windscreen:

right-safety-device-181812.html?stockInventory=undefined>

 
I can't help wondering who, in the 21st century, is expected to buy this
"safety device".

 
Classic cars without dual display?

 

But requiring scriptytosh to view the website is standard.

You can still buy new speedometers with a single display,
for classic cars. It proves how classic they are.

OTOH, most new cars sold in Europe have single scale speedometers.
It is the dual scale things which have become classic.
Even the new Minis have a single scale, kilometers only,
(don't know about Minis sold in Britain)
