I bought my first Scorpion from Thomas Turner in Reading in 1973, the year they came out, but I can't remember what it cost. I was on my way to see Friends in Ascot, but did a diversion to Turner's, fatal error, as they'd just received it that very day.
I px'ed it several years later for an Original 35, as a friend had a Squirrel problem he wanted me to sort.
I've always liked the Scorpion , so have since bought some when they've cropped up at the right price, but haven't bought any for the past few years.
