A rusty 1980s Raleigh Chopper which was bought for a tenner decades ago could now fetch hundreds of pounds at auction after being rescued from a garden shed. The battered Stranger Things-style bicycle had been gathering dust and cobwebs for the past 40 years in the back garden of Abdul Sidike, 46, in Birmingham.
The company director had ridden around with pals on the classic bike during the 1980s - much like Mike, Will, Lucas and Dustin in the hit Netflix sci-fi horror. The dad-of-two admits he was left embarrassed by his dad's £10 secondhand purchase at the time, but said he soon grew to love the iconic bicycle.
And after seeing that a similar model, which was destined for a skip, had made nearly £700 at auction recently he decided to get his valued. It is now expected to fetch up to £400 when it goes under the hammer at Hansons Auctioneers, in Bishton, Staffordshire, on June 28.
