is a mess. Did all the Sprites come with a tacho as standard? Did the
face change with different years?
I don't think the wing mirror is original either (I come to this conclusion
based on having seen the same mirror at Supercheap Auto) - it's a
rectangular job. >>
Greetings LeighAnne,
The tach on the AN6 MKII looked the same as the bugeye except the ignition
indicator lense is a faceted blue lens and not the translucent red dot on the
bugeye. Officially the tachometer is listed as an option for the sprites but
realistically very few were shipped without one. As for the wing mirror,
looks like its a modern add on.
