Question Odometer Converstion

Due to my Scoob getting shipped to the UK shortly, I'm having to convert the speedo from km/h to mph.

The odometer is currently reading 32,000km and I would like to convert that into mph. I'm not wanting to clock the car or anything illegal like that, I just would like the odometer with an accurate miles reading. Is this possible to do?

How many Km is to to the mile?

Leave it as it is; your car doesnt require an SVA if its already registered in Cyprus. If youre bringing it in as a personal import (you qualify but virtually all other cars are classed as commercial imports) then you will need an SVA (not an E-SVA with Model Report); the simplist conversion there is simply to fit a 112mph speedometer facia. If the car has been SVAd in Cyprus already as I think youve said elsewhere, then itll only need an MOT and the speedos reading in MPH isnt a requirement...
