Ambient Temperature Gauge

[Jaspersilus]

Hi Chaps,
now for sale on ebay is my ambient temperature gauge, old but new and boxed!

Go on,treat yourself!

Its for a mark 3 I believe, but not totally sure!!

Hi mate.
Had a look at your ambient gauge on the bay.
It seems to have a smiths sender witch would make it between 82-85 86.
I might be wrong and usually am. Maybe some of the experts might know better.
Cheers Mark.

Cheers Mark,

What's the part number on the box? That's definitely not a VDO sender which is black and square-ish. I'd take a guess and say it's a Smiths gauge too (83 & 84 model years)

Hi Tom,

Cheers Tom,

You re a bloody star, now how much is it realistically worth ?

Cheers Jason

Hi mate.
Its probably worth a bit more than the 6 quid thats on it at the moment.

What the market decides any particular week?

Hard to say really.

[volvosneverdie]

Ebay will indeed decide.

Id be disapointed with less that £15 if I was selling it.

Ive given VDO ones away mind.

Hi Chaps
my ambient temperature gauge has about 1 hr 45 mins left on ebay, its currently sitting at £6.00, so if you want to grab a bargain!

[Jaspersilus]

Hi Chaps
just sold for £15, have to say I was expecting a little more, from now on will just list on here!

I hate being right.

Thats a bit of a mean finish for sure.

"Low end estimate" as they say on Bargain Hunt.
