Good Morning ODK Members,
Turner lawn mowers pop up from time to time and when they are within range of me I grab them to add to my collection. A Turner Saphire was advertised down south and well out of my reach, if no new owner was found it was heading to the tip. I told a friend about it and he picked it up the next day in exchange for some beer.

Saved from the tip and safe for now.

The Saphire was introduced in 1964 and was an interesting design, inboard rear wheels and a very large aluminium rear catcher that is a true work of art in the way it is put together.
