Hi
Chris125,
Blue and
ODK members
Blue, nice find with the advertisement.
Yes, the full slogan was, "jet age styling - high powered performance"
This machine was released just years before the
Moon landing,
during the
'Space Race'. Manufactures reflected this in names and styling.
[remember that Hoover vacuum that looked like Sputnik?]
Chris, That's a good point about no axle bushes - I did not know that.
Again, a great photo of the
safety skirt.
Here is a brochure for the range dated from, I think,
1967.
[Mal's ad. must date from late
1965 or early
1966, on the cusp of currency decimalisation.]
TURNER BROCHURE All very space-age.
