Title: UK Ammaco Mongoose catalogue - circa 1983
Post by: duncan on October 29, 2006, 04:07 PM: I've been meaning to post these for a while, they were sent to me in about 1999. Shows all the UK models, including the Mongoose Wirewheel and Mongoose Skyway!
I'm sorry I've forgotten the name of the person who sent them, but maybe you'll recognise your own scans plus the poster signed by Wayne Llewelyn at the end :)

No sorry, just what's above.
They were scans I received, not the catalogue itself. The scans are actually a lot bigger, but photobucket limits the size.
If anyone wants the full size ones I could email them.

I've got a photo somewhere of my Burner catalogue pinned to the wall from about '83 :)

Post by: duncan on October 29, 2006, 06:37 PM: ;D It's maybe still there, who knows, but that was back in my parents' old house, they've moved since.
It's the only personal photo I've been able to find that has anything to do with BMX.
