NARDI was an Italian company known for a few custom sports cars in the middle of the last Century, and probably even more famed for their steering wheels, which graced the cockpits of countless Porsches and Cobras of the late-fifties and sixties.
But they also made a handful of ancillary accessories, like horn buttons, gearshift knobs, and the very rare gauge.
This is a super-rare example of one such gauge, a NARDI Danese Torino -branded speedometer. Although a top-end of 200km an hour seems fine today, in say, 1950's Europe, 125mph was no joke, especially in a Fiat 500 which was a common recipient of these add-ons.
In any case, these were like hens teeth, so enjoy the cool graphics of a 200-numeral speedo!
