Wow, what a great story and so glad you got hold of another bike to bring back those fantastic memories
In the eighties my favourite F1 team were Lotus (especially when Senna drove for them) with their JPS liveried 97 and 98T cars
At around that time Raleigh released their Record Sprint racing bike also in black and gold livery (no tobacco sponsorship though
) and my Mum & Dad bought me one for Christmas of 1985 I believe.........I was so made up and I loved that bike as well
