Oh, silly me. Yes, its a 1987 Westly GL. I've had more trouble with VDO speedos and tachs in the last 2 years. Tach in my '55 356 would occasionally start whining, really high pitched - and then stop. Bearing went, as far as I can tell. We'd put a little grease in there and it'd stop whining for a few days and then start again. Really hard to concentrate on driving. Ended up sending it to some guys in San Jose or Palo Alto for a rebuild.
