Did you guys get these?

Some of my first off road experiences way back in the 80s were blasting down farm hills on a similar machine

It goes without saying that this does look pretty good. I remember a lad having one, back then, and with a playing card and a clothes peg on the rear end, it was undeniably a real scrambler.

@MattiThundrrr - see here. I think a bit before you were hanging out at the Bikewrenchers Inn.

From memory the price tag was unbelievable. When I chatted to the bloke, he said it's probably about 50% less market value. It didn't hang around for long. I think these types of bikes are rather rare. Someone posted a MBK one a while ago somewhere.
