It was commisioned by Tuckers Cycles, in Guisborough, Cleveland. It was named after the local track, also built by the same bloke, Margrove park. It was riden by people like Jonothan Tucker, who rode for "Tuckers Tornadoes" in the north east. Thats about all I can remember about it. Ad

I think we have talked about this on the old forum. I would check on there for further info. If it's still working that is.

I remember the Magra 531 from BITD.

I used to live near Guisborough till `84, and rode Margrove Park quite often, along with Saltburn and Redcar tracks. There was a lad that lived round the corner had a black Magra 531 which really stood out from the crowd, all I really know is, they were a limited run of frames sold through Tuckers and they were reputedly `kin rare and expensive.

Has anyone got any pics they can post?

Decals were those cheap stick on letters from a DIY shop, had a box frame aswell - got a pic of one somewhere. Never thought they were mass produced.
