Has anyone ever heard of a Challenger Expert from 1983??

I have someone that's got one he wants to sell but I don't know anything about it?

Right got a little bit more info from my illiterate work coleague ::)

It's a Mongoose Expert and it has Chattsworth written on it as well.?? I'm assuming it's the area it was bought from and may be a shop sticker.

chances are the serial number will start with M3 .....
if you think its a 1983 model

same frame as the cali'
so can be all tubes chromoly or just trimoly (front three tubes)

if its complete and good nick might go £125 tops
if its more plop than mr ploppy then £40 / £50 ?

Why would they have a challenger expert in Fiesta, Knave, Mayfair or Men-Only Neil?  :LolLolLolLol:
