At first I thought you had just cleaned or replaced the speedo glass, but then I enlarged the pics and saw it rolling over, lol.
Congrats on your new ride!

I know a few dealers who like that feeling so much they go out of their way to experience it as often as possible. :-)

The odometer rolled over in my 230sl on a return trip from Branson, MO to Kansas City ca. June 1977. This was years before Andy Williams, Jacov Schmirnov and crew built up the Lake Ozark strip along Bagnal Dam into the Red Neck Riveria
