Just bought this old heap for £10 off a guy selling it in a local buy,sell,wanted group on faceache!
he has listed it as rusty old blue bmx £10 so i mailed him asking what make it was and he replied an 1981-1982 AMMACO 202, so would be rude not to i thought!
does anyone know much about this model? not much about them at the museum! was it a low end bike or what? anyone got any original pics etc?
wheels run ok and everything seems to move as it should, thinking maybe white f+f, keeping all the blue bits and get some era correct grips!
cheap little project to keep me away from the beer garden for a week or so! lol

£50 - 75 as it stands perhaps? Sounds like you got a deal. :daumenhoch:
My brother in law had a chrome one of these in his shed for years. He kept telling me to take it, but I couldnt be arsed digging it out. I recently found out his dada (my father in law) has now taken it to the tip... lol

Some catalogue scans / specs............
Judging from the pics looks like yours is more likely a late 83 or 84.
The pic from the 83 catalogue (first pic) doesn't have a looptail whereas the 2 pics from the 84 catalogue have the same looptail as yours ;)
It also looks like other than grips, seat and tyres, yours is all original :)
