a perfect condition one of them in a box will cost you a couple of hundred quid, they are very rare.

what about the skateboard pre-cursor . . . the annual on top of a skate? Great for the knuckles and hair-raising when hurtling towards Shettleston Road . . . (i say hurtling - it was probably 2 miles an hour)
