Anyone know anything about these, apparently this is 100% survivor.

I've had a few rough ones in my time.....
Never seen one of these before - looks in great nick. How old is it? Proper old school, or a newish model?

I pulled this one out of a bin with views to taking it apart, cleaning it up and reassembling it with my boy to get him familiar with bikes. He wasn't interested and I lost interest in it so it sits in bits in my shed.

28 spoke wheels, 145 cranks, welds like the top of a farmhouse loaf. :o

Ive bought and sold a few of these in the past. They are cheap and cheerful but still worth saving in my opinion  :)

I take it they were fabricated in Taiwan but were they a UK only model?

Also, anyone know the year of them?

I think the one I've got is an 88 made in Rayleigh Essex.
