84' db viper !! Good/bad buy
« on: February 10, 2014, 05:26 PM »
 Not sure if anybody on here was bidding or even seen it on ebay it ended yesterday evening and I bid and won it ?
Looks quite rough and missing some original bits,odd tyres etc it's my second viper but I got my other over 20 odd years ago so this is my first recent purchase and just wanted to ask if I paid over the odds or is this the right ball park
I don't know how to add a link to the advert but I basically got it for £195 ,I suppose I'm just a bit ignorant to values etc   :pilky:
All new to me I'm afraid at the moment and just wanted some advice off the lads that know

just add the ebay item number here so we can have a look :daumenhoch:

..but on the recent purchases you see that there were 2 '84 f+f sets sold for like  90 and 130 posted to UK from the US.
edit: .ops the one for 90 seems to be smth else...

No probs the item no. 191058671305
Cheers and I'm guessing its a 84' by the decals being slightly different too so I may be wrong

I have a set of stamped DB bars off an '84 survivor I found. Wrong bars for the bike so they're up for grabs if you need a set :coolsmiley:
