It sounds like you are dealing with "Jobsworths" at all levels. If you ask the appropriate government official, then "the job can't be done" - it is more than their job is worth to help you acquire such a vehicle. However, once your vehicle is having its annual inspection, it is not part of the job specification of the inspector to inquire how you obtained a km/h speedo (or it is not on the list of tick-boxes).
