1971 Triumph Tr6 Smiths Tachometer (oem) on 2040-parts.com
Ruckersville, Virginia, US
Up for sale is a completely and meticulously refurbished Smiths tachometer from my 1971 Triumph TR6. This tach. has been disassembled and rebuild via the following: (1) Shell media blasted to bare metal (2) internal shell primed and painted in brilliant white (3) External shell painted with POR-15 gray to glass-like finish (4) gauge face white glove polished with Pledge and dust free cloth (5) original glass bezel retained and cleaned (6) new gaskets from Nisonger (7) swapped original flat black bezel with chrome from Nisonger (retained original and will include with sale) This came out so well I intended to keep it for a future swap. However, due to a change in priorities and limited space, my hope is this beautiful piece of history goes into a working "six"! Please let me know if you have questions.

Porsche considering full factory F1, Le Mans teams
Wed, 06 Oct 2010New Porsche CEO and president Matthias Muller is weighing up a review of Porsche’s motorsport activities – and claimed the sports car brand could re-enter Le Mans with a full factory team, or even F1. Muller was appointed on 1 October 2010 and has lots on his plate: he’s a VW veteran and is charged with integrating Porsche smoothly into the Volkswagen business empire as Wolfsburg ratchets up its ownership of Porsche. That integration includes motorsport, he told CAR at the 2010 Paris motor show.
New Nissan X-Trail starts at £22,995. But it’s FWD
Thu, 01 May 2014The new Nissan X-Trail (pictured) falls in price The styling of the new Nissan X-Trail, which arrived last year at Frankfurt, has eschewed a lot of the boxiness of the old X-Trail and taken on many of the styling cues from the new Nissan Qashqai.
