I am getting a 1960s Raleigh Chopper Mark 1 maybe
 

i am probably getting rid on my mark 2 to get a mark 1

Will you have the room lol.

This boy is the richest kid I know.
When I was his age I had a push bike.
This one has 10 cars as well.
Still very sceptical.

He was at the NEC and spoke to REEBS, think he is real mate.

Born with a silver spoon then........

My spoon was was made of driftwood obviously LOL

Always wanted one but never got. My parents said that a racing bike would be better suited to a paper round, which I thought was odd as I didn't have one at the time ... little did I know what they were planning for me lol. :eek:

:smilie_re: With hindsight a Raleigh Chopper would have been a good investment all those years ago. Good to see that you have an eye for a classic.

Mine had the 5speed option, Nearly killed myself racing my mate on his Arena lol.. front wheel lost it just after I overtook him, and I went head first down an ash felt path lol still got some of the scars 40something years later 🤣

I had a Mark 2 identical to this one when I was Thomas's age, really loved the gear selector T bar as it reminded me of my Dad's XJ6 selector :cool:

Yes, for anyone doubting the credibility of Rover2003, I can confirm that Thomas is a very pleasant and genuine young man who has a passion for cars at just 14 which he has clearly got from his father who was with him at the NEC. We all had a good chat for about half an hour. His Dad acquires the cars with a view to either using, fixing up, or passing on, and on occasions just 'gifts' them to his son, so Thomas currently has an MGF and the 75.

His dad didn't know that Thomas was posting at 2am in the morning though, so I think I dropped him in it there. :o

What a fantastic experience for Thomas be able to learn about cars and repairs at his age, positive thoughts for the future. The chopper bike was one of those must haves to be seen with. I didn’t have one, but a mate did and he always had to be the first one through the farm gates. Later on in life he remains competitive and drives a BMW mark 4 ;)
