I'm not a burner person, but is that a special model, looks like a signature on the forks.

It's a 1985 Andy Ruffell Team Special, not really special, it's a basic model, low end parts.

Proper survivor though.  :daumenhoch:

My first BMX was one of these, I was 5 I think. Was 2nd hand off a fella my Dad did some work for, after his lad took a tumble and broke his arm I think. Seat dropped right down to the seat clamp and i still couldn't and my feet still couldnt touch the floor "help". Was miles better than the striker I had before. Many good memories on one of these bikes.

It looks totally original apart from missing a stem pad.
