Velocette Viper - value?
Discussion
Brothers elderly neighbour has a Velocette Viper 350 that he wants rid of and has offered him first refusal.
Apparently it is very good condition and still starts first time every time.
Have looked on google but can't really find anything to hint at its value, I'm guessing 2 - 3k?
Anyone give me any ideas what to expect, I don't think the old boy has any idea what to ask either.

If it's a good original runner it'd be more like £3-4K. If it has its original number it may (sadly!) be worth more yet.
If it has original 'upgrade' bits- twin leading shoe front brake (identifiable by an air scoop on the right hand side of the brake plate), swept back exhaust and rev counter it may be a Clubman and worth a bit more.
They're quite a sought after bike. The one I ride started off as a Viper but was upgraded to a Venom (500cc) at some point. Great sounding and riding bike!
If you have any numbers I may be able to find out a bit more for you.
