Which DP model?

[curtispro]

I had a good look and the brake holes are in the same place as Eds but there is no serial number, can anyone put a year on the frame and forks?

Forks are now stripped and will be off to Superbikedans shortly 

Regards

As the others have said frame number should be near the laser cut dp if there was one. I had one the other year the amount of digits is purely dependent on what the number is. Mine was a three digit.
Don't think I have seen a chrome one of these either, pity it's too far gone.
A cracking find especially for £40

Hi,where was the number located then ? 

[curtispro]

Just above the rear mount  scraped off some paint and rust then low and behold there it was 
Anyone know what year these were made? 198?

Haha Brett, the 198? was the question for the year, the serial number is 359 

[brettypeeps]

Haha Brett, the 198? was the question for the year, the serial number is 359 

I would reckon that would be from 1986

[curtispro]

Thanks Brett for your knowlage

It is an early one from the Flint Factory there is no exact year for these my best guess would be 83 because I had 1043 for Christmas 1983  Not sure when the factory started in Wales but I am sure it was late 1982 which would make sense

It is not Exact as there is no living register that I know of unless firebird has it,  I just lived by the factory and new alot of the people that worked there BITD.. the Warrington frames had no serial numbers so it is a good start point.  The GL's were made from Mid 1985
