Rusty 'Chopper' bike saved from being thrown in skip sells for hundreds of pounds

For 35 years, the iconic 1970s bike lived in a garden shed in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warks, before its owner almost threw it away during a clear out.

The three-speed bike was covered in rust, and had two flat tyres, but still went on to sell for more than six times its estimated value of £100.
