Sure do go close. My 84 Caravelle goes up to 180kmh (112.5mph).

I have a 220kmh Golf II speedo which I intend to install in the Caravelle
cluster, along with the 7000rpm tacho. The plan is to convert these to
white translucent face with backlighting (using high-intensity LEDs,
hopefully I can arrange a setup whereby I can switch it among several color
settings).
