I am clearing my Late Grandparents house, who used to own a VW/Audi Dealership from the 1960s through to the 1980s, and have found a number of interesting things relating to the VAG group through that period and various other car projects that he undertook.

 

This specifically is a brand new, in the box New Old Stock (NOS) Motometer Rev Counter/Tachometer.  It reads to 7000rpm - I believe that these were very popular with VW fans, being German, but I assume that they would end up fitted into all sorts of German cars back in the day.


I dont know if he sold these through the dealership, or bought it ready for one of his own projects (of which there were many!).  It can be dated very accurately, given the paperwork, to October 1965! 

 

It looks like its all there, and I am assuming as it has never been fitted its should all be in good working order.  I dont think its ever been out the box until the pictures - Everything seemed to be tucked into the right places!


It is in overall really good condition for such an old piece of kit - Please see the pictures, they give a decent idea of the condition in general.  There are some small blemishes on the rim - They may well polish off - Given its NOS I dont want to mess, so have done nothing with it.

 

The photos give a good 'summary' of its condition, but if you want more pics or specific info, please just ask.

 

I would rather it was collected so you can see exactly what you are getting, no risk of damage etc, but I can post at cost if you are happy with that.  If you did want to collect it can be collected from Walsall, West Mids, or Cardiff, as I go there most weeks for work.

 

Over the next few months there will probably be lots of Volkswagen/Audi and general Motor trade type stuff being put up as I manage to sort through it all, so please see my other listings, or if you have a particular model (his stuff is more biased towards aircooled than watercooled, but there is some early golf, scirocco, passat etc type stuff their too) by all means give me a shout and I can let you know if I find anything.  

 

Specifically I am about to list some other VW, Audi and NSU parts catalogues, workshop manuals, some sales literature, brochures, NOS parts etc but there is plenty of other stuff to come! 

 

Any questions, just shout and I'll do my best to help!
