Thats not a genuine Grifter. There is no way it could sit in the stand like that :D
It must have taken 3 people to lift it FFS ;D

Thanks for all the info. I have been watching eBay UK closely. Biggest problem is rust. Mums traveling there soon and will bring it back in a bike bag. However need something not rusted up. Will be difficult to find one I think. Any pics or even a hard copy of the mag would be an amazing find.

.. really, all rusty? Well, if you're doin a dad tribute (..!), would'nt you'd have to get it sprayed anyway....? - would be a cool thing to build it up together with ya dad, dunno if that works with your plans .... :) . But then some rust wouldn't be that much of an issue... just an idea, in case you don't find a clean one.
Good luck with the mag search. Maybe SOMEBODY here at least has a link to a SCAN of, as stidds mentioned: "... BMX Action Bike, November 1984. ..." ??? I'll have a look as well.

Not all rusty but has to be clean as customs in Australia won't let any nastys in! If I can get one to aus I can then figure out what I can do with it. Most likely be a project but if I can get it close to complete that would be ace. Thanks I've been scouting eBay for mags as well.
dp and chopper dude:
When will you need one for and where abouts are you?
I'll keep an eye out. This one looks quite clean, it's all there and it ends today:
