Yep - Seen that in the late 80s.. Dad was an ex op and we had 2 - 3 truckloads of system ones backed out straight to the tip. NO ONE wanted them - not even for free back in those days.. The only reason I scored the Solar Ride was because he "lost" it right up the back of the storage building. I also found the Meteor I restored... In 100 pieces..

Sad but it was a "sign of the times"... !!!

Yes they were the times. I remember around 1980 when truckload after truckload from the distributers in Sydney took all their remaining EMs to the dump. There would of been at least FIVE HUNDRED that I knew of that got dumped around that time  !!!
