some of the Bonds , 0 - 50  wow , read backwards and i think those speedos were moped types. some also needed a figure of eight in the drive chain to make them read at all - very twisted

further to my reading the AA handbook for 1949/50 - first postwar edition , i find that ANY vehicle used on the highway needed a speedometer fitted , seemingly regardless of the attainable speed .quite how steam traction engines and the like coped i don't know. a lot of them were still around post war

But was it law as some mopeds and Peels didn't have speedos?

Only vehicles over 50cc have ever had to have a speedo fitted by law.
