That's exactly what I paid for mine, new in 1983, from Guns & Ammo, 55 The Wicker, Sheffield. At the time I remember my dad saying "what's tha want to spend that kind o' money on a bloody airgun for?"
I've still got the "full bag o' mashings" (not heard that for a long while), but the rear sight screw has sheared in it's hole and I can't get it out.
The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
