This is cool.  Speedo, tach, and clock all in one

Is that a tachograph?   I have speed, RPM, clock and odometer on my VDO/Kienzle Argo tachograph.

Can it be fitted to an MCI?

I would love to make the face of my speedo look like this:

Don't know if someone can paint/silkscreen that type of font/graphic onto it

   Looks like a standard "Smiths" speedo/speedo face to me.  I spent many years being very familiar with them and many years trying to forget!    :o

That would be my assumption too; you can't see it in the photo but above the face there is almost certainly a button or key that allows the face to hinge forwards so you can access the paper disc behind. The one in my bus is very similar

It is- its the same as the one on my XJ6 series 1. After years of coveting German machinery, I like the 'warmth' of British cars. Hence I wonder if I can keep the mechanism of the MCI style speedo but a face style like the Smiths dial.
