I'll go with the Puch. Mine was the same as the one in the pic (blue/yellow). Never seen one on the bay or built!

Will be funny when one does pop up - bet it'll fetch big bucks!

The rarest BMX in the U.K. is a 1985/6 Mongoose Eric Rupe Signature edition.

Fatter tubes than a pro class.Longer front end and shorter rear.

Ammaco did not import any.

I only know of one in this country.

Very,Very rare in the U.S. as well.

Anyone got one ? seen one ?

I am the proud owner of a JMC justin roos Mini, there were only 54 of them made, I have every serial number on  a scan Jim Melton made from his records.

They were built with a thinner down tube to nmormal JMC mini's and had a tendancy to break.  I have only heard of one other person who has one.  (Adam Cox)

So I am putting that forward as a rare example

There were also only about 86 JMC Micro Mini's made, I also own one of those

JMC Rare 

-  JMC JR & MM   Very rare !

For sure MY own National•Pro I've found after 20 years at the same guy to whom I sold it to! (And it was in the same condition as I sold some 20 years ago...)

Julian, great picture.  Maruishi is who sponsered Nicky Dalton before he was picked up by Redline, must be the Devon connection as he lived in Newton Abbot.

Sander, that National Pro is really nice, I have always liked those bikes.
