I'm doing some work on a recreation of a motorcycle from the mid-1960's and looking at the graphics on Smiths gauges. It looks like some say "Made in England" while others say "Made in UK"...which should I use for a mid-1960's reproduction?

acc to these pics, "made in England" seems to be appropriate

Wow, great blog!

Actually, there was a document from Smiths with the entire gauge face for the particular bike I was working on. Brilliant!
