Here are 12 of your favourite ever speedometers

Numbers - we like big ones. Especially if they're beaming at us from a speedometer. Even more especially if said speedometer's presented in a handsome ornament.

But instead of dictating which is handsomest, we asked you - yes, you with your mouth open - which was your favourite.

Herein lie the results.

As well as reaching an agreeable 360km/h, you liked the F1-style lights on the steering wheel. Which, we realise, have nothing to do with the speedometer. But they're still deeply, deeply cool.

As well as an ambitious terminal velocity of 260mph, this speedo has LOTS OF PRETTY COLOURS. We like pretty colours.

Digital speedos were thrust on all that bought a GTE. They also broke a lot. Nice.

You can always rely on the French for galloping in-car digitisation. The Digit special had a digital cluster and state-of-the-Eighties onboard computer.

What's not to like? It's all blue and alluring and futuristic and lovely. Well played, Honda.

The speedo chases the revs up and down the dial. Which, according to you lot, is pleasing.

It looked like a Citroen BX crossed with a blue whale on the outside, but its innards are deliciously digital. Though lightly baffling.

Firstly, it's attached to a Lexus LFA. Secondly, the engine revs so fast that a normal gauge can't keep up, which is why it's digital.

What it lacks in accuracy, it makes up for in analogue chic.

Just looks cool, doesn't it?

Look at it, and tell us it's not RIDDLED with awesome. Go on. Dare you.
