£650 or best offer missing some of the sender units & bulb holders!

Been looking for a volt gauge & people's asking prices are ridiculous.

Proper chancer this one.

Best Guages to have in my opinion, certainly not tacky, got a set of 3 recently for £350.

Yeah I do like the black vdo ones but the White face ones don't look out of place I don't think.

I totally agree I think they look out of place on an oldskool ford. Typical cosworth price parts tbh, they are priced like defi gauges you buy for imprezas ect but not a patch on them.

And he was selling them on a sale group on FB for £400. Kept all details to himself until someone pointed out they've seen them on ebay.
