’63 R2 FOR AUCTION ON BRING-A-TRAILER

[Rick Allen]

Nice ’63 R2 up for auction on bring-a-trailer, lots of pictures (and videos) and documentation but I was under the impression all R2 had 160 MPH speedometers, this one shows a 140 speedo; did any early R2 come from factory with a 140 mph gauge?,,,

Yes…early R2 Avantis came with the 140 mph speedometer.  The 160 mph unit was introduced fairly soon in production.

Nice looker! Those hog troughs look fairly new, and I can see the power steering hoses are far enough away from the exhaust manifold.
