Most places I know about require that all driving-related equipment your car is fitted with should work. E.g. it's fine if your car has no ESP or ABS, but if it does it has to work. If your car had no turn lights or seatbelts originally it passes the inspection, but of course not if they simply don't work. So perhaps if you drive early model Ford T no speedometer is fine, but otherwise seriously doubt it.
