There were some interesting results at the auction, and whilst some bikes went cheap I thought the ancillaries were pretty expensive, at a shade under £3K for two KVFTT mags of unknown condition, that has to be somewhat of a gamble, and unless you have a genuine Lightning without one there must by now be better alternatives. The boxed 5 inch speedo reads like it is a genuine Smiths Speedo, but the attached information suggests otherwise, by 1980 Smiths were no longer producing these speedos, Auto Tempo Instruments was owned by a chap named Joe Shaw, he had a business not dissimilar to the current crop of speedo repair businesses, one of which is always at Kempton Park, David and Phillip Woods, at a shade under £3k for a possible replica speedometer, even if it was the case that Joe Shaw had enough original parts to build it just seems pricey to me, originals with the small drive gearbox used to pop up on eBay for around £1k, sometimes cheaper, I thinks Woods would service the whole thing for a reasonable price.
