miles or km's ??

[lsb]

Wondered when uk spec Lamborghini started to use miles instead of km's as shown on the mileometer ?? I have a 98 model year car and assume newer cars show distance in miles.

i believe it was 99 with the new dash. my 97 also kms on the odo, mph on the dial.

Ah, that would make sense. Thankyou.

[tcf]

So I think a bit later - 01 or 02? Certainly early Murcis have KM speedos.

I had an 04 supplied new by Lambo London in KM

Just to clarify, i am asking about the odometer a.k.a mileometer NOT the speedo ( which i presume is always mph ).

Either the factory uses whatever is to hand at the time or we have some people driving a few more / less miles a year than they thought they had !

Definitive answer anyone ??

yep, mine currenly reads around 18000kms (12,000 miles). Was told a story that in true Italian style it was whatever unit 'Luigi' picked up on the day determined the readout
