I hope to bring it round to a meet soon.
Went to DVLA office today. Handed in all paperwork, coughed up the dough, seems they accepted it with no mention of speedo. I hope it goes smoothly, looking forward to UK nubmer plate

There's probably something somewhere about vehicle checks that they "can" choose to do, but a big-name standard model imported from the EU is likely to be ignored and accepted.
You might just get caught by a check or particularly picky MOT at some time in the future, but so far it sounds good.
