Now then, this particular instrument was very nearly mine, back in '78, but Bruce Foxton nipped into the same shop in Hounslow, not far from LHR, shortly after I headed home to borrow the extra £20 to buy her and he bought her for (iirc) £200...
I was gutted...
Then, on the wall, freshly back in for a 2nd time, a year after I first saw her, was this gorgeous cherry red and gold Thunderbird, built by some guy called Peter Cook, going for the Princely sum of £180... £20 cheaper than the Rivoli/EB2/whatever she was... so home she came and I've now owned her for 41 years... often wondered if Bruce still has the Rivoli... or... can someone confirm which this Lady in white is...?
