After seeing the 'Huffy' bike in another thread, I was browsing around and found this space age thing!

Looking in the background , the other items suggest this seller is a bit of a retro lover

I'll always have a soft spot for Huffy, my Dad brought me back a Huffy skateboard from the USA in 1975. At this point, most of my mates boards were planks with roller skate wheels attached.

This site states that they were made by Motobecane in 1984. www.smilepolitely.com/culture/in_defense_of_huffy/ They also mention Raleigh built Huffys.
It does look a lot like this 1978 Super Mirage. www.bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/Motobecane/78/05_Super_Mirage.jpg
