My experience, never had a single failure with Autometer in race cars , street cars and off road vehicles, used for years and years. Smiths had two bad
oil pressure out of two , lost one engine, two bad speedometer out of two. And none of them can you see at night very well. Call it bad luck or British engineering. Look great, and I have friends that have never had a problem with Smiths
You guys know why Brits drink warm beer ?? Lucas and Smiths both make refrigerators.
