A totally irrelevant question. If you like them, use them. If you don't, then don't.
Follow your own path, not one dictated by others.

Don't listen to Keith, do what everyone else does because it looks right.

If a Smiths tacho and speedometer were good enough for Greg Aronson... Use them!

A crashed MGB!!! It must have been going flat out in the right lane when it was run over from behind by something much faster.........like a diesel Transit.
The tacho you can fit a small "tach chip" to the needle, most instrument places can do this easy enough if it's broken, and since it's Smiths, that's likely. The later versions had a VDO bobbin in the back, they work better (go figure, huh?).

looks like that car was not going too fast when the driver was tapping on the face of the tach tryin' to get the needle to move.
