Unless I'm misreading this, that would be 3 speedometers.
You should have disclosed that in the BAT listing, where it says 144k miles and 200 added by you. If you have documentation, include it. People pay a lot for cars over there based on condition and miles and sellers generally disclose a lot more than on ebay or craiglist. It's a community and having a good name there goes a long way in terms of selling your cars for good $$. I've never sold anything there but plan on it someday.
I've had more speedometers for old MB cars repaired than I can count, usually for broken odometers. Obviously, they break. For cosmetic reasons, I always have the needles repainted w that special VDO flourescent orange so that they all match. The pros who fix them all have this paint. The speedo in your car is a used one from a different car, one that was exposed to a lot more sun than the other gauges in the cluster, which incidentally also is not original to the car.
