Yeh that speedo was avalible in Canada but it was BIG money. 
I think most Canadian models had them and some if not all European.
I have had one in my MK1 for a while now,  pretty cool item.  It's 
funny to see passengers watch the speedo & say "your going 120 ?"
No No that's km/h.  I mean the car is fast...but... not "that'' fast, 
120 in 3rd gear wouldn't that be nice :) It also is pretty cool when 
your topping out 4th gear & the speedo isn't buried into the trip 
recorder.

If any of you MK1 guy's want one I've got a couple that I will part 
with.
