ghetdjc320 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Just came across an interesting find on a RHD xj from 95. Has anyone seen one of these before? I’m familiar with the police XJ 125 “certified calibration” and the euro spec 125 also. Never seen this one though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scguy Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 That's odd. It seems to have the odometer in KM and speed in MPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 That's a new one for me too. What country uses mph as a unit of speed but km as a unit of distance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 I’m not positive that the odometer is in kilometers though it’s possible. Looks like a postal xj to me. I wonder if he would part with the speedo??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Postal XJs were often originally Japanese export models reimported to the US. I wonder if that's where it's from. I'd think Japan would have the speedometer in km/h though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, it reminds me of the 200kph export speedo I’ve seen for sale plenty of times. Perhaps there was just an overlay for the speedometer in mph they used for those exports that got used domestically. That would have left the odometer in kph Edit: this has got to be it with just a different overlay for the speedometer portion: https://teamcherokee.com/speedometer-assembly-kilometers-per-hour-rhd-oem-cherokee-1995-1996/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren99 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Where there ever any police XJ 125mph speedos for the other style of gauges, like from an 87? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, all the first gen XJ police package models were electric speedos. Want to say somewhere around 92-94 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if that narrows it down any or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
