Being 42 years old i have a particular interest in anything from the 1980s when i was growing up as a youth.
One bike i did own at the time was a MK2 Chopper and i loved that bike, it went onto pastures new when i got a racer in 1985 and i missed it ever since.
Fast forward last May and the Spring Autojumble at Beaulieu, i went for the full weekend and passed this by a few times. It as you can see is/ was a wreck and was going to be slung in the scrap bin when the owner got home if unsold........well, it couldn't happen so i saved it for the grand sum of £10. Yay !!!
Ever since Ebay and other contacts have been scoured to get all the missing parts, and boy there were plenty.
Here's my FB album of its resurrection, at the present it's having the frame painted and will be getting the build up in the next few weeks in time for summer.

Oh, sorry for the slight confusion too, i didn't get a Chopper due to the 'scene tax' these demand, nah, i'm not paying stupid prices for those. Grifters are as cool and of the era too.
