Someone speculated that Mitsuwa reworked original speedo and added the Japan market red range face so the case would have the original date stamp (BTW - I think this is B.S.). Regardless, I think that the speedo date stamp would provide some background reference for the car since it has no records before being imported to the U.S. This is true for date stamps for many other parts of the car (Fuchs, steering wheel, seats, spare wheel, H-4s, etc.) but like so many other auctions on BAT, details like this are never posted.

Yeah I agree. I doubt Mitsuwa did anything short of ordering a speedo from Porsche. For me if dates are not posted I assume they are wrong.
