80's Thunder BMX - Who made it??

[scott_fury]

Hi there,

I've just got hold of a bunch of old bikes and amongst them was this rusty beauty from the 80's I reckon from the handlebars and general shape of the frame. It says Thunder on it, and the forks are Raleigh Tange hobbies, but I don't recognise it as a Huffy. The decal on the headstock is a number '1' and it says it was made in Italy. Is it just some sort of cheap Halfords knock off?

Here's some pics....


Any help would be great thanks!
