Not sure I have seen a 95mph one, but you can get a 140mph one: http://store.delorean.com/p-7088-speedo ... 40mph.aspx

Don't quote me, but I *think* the 95mph one on the BTTF movie car(s) were specially modified ones simply to get round the originally insufficient top speed of 85mph, since this would have hampered the visual queue of the time machine getting to 88mph. This is of course probably because it was too much effort to find another car using the same speedo gauge but on a different scale that we are now aware of these days. (I think a couple of Porsche's and a Lotus or two? Mine for instance, I think im of the belief that my 170mph one (quite rare?) is from a Porsche (Martin to confirm)). But if I'm right about my thoughts, then the 95mph one is EVEN more rare! Lol!

I was wondering when you were going to replace the speedometer Steven! It would complete the car perfectly! 8) :lol:

I wonder if you could get an 'overlay' made up to put over the top of the origional. Clearly the speedo would be way out but might be the easiest way (and cheapest) to go
