Hello Craig,

That looks like a first-class restoration of an Atco there!
Thanks for that info. I have noted and recorded Westralian Motorcycles.
I hope to discuss important dealers in detail at some point.

WM appear to have been the sole distributor of Atco for a period post WWII.
I do not believe they were involved in lawnmowers prior to this.

It seems that motorcycle and car sellers really feature in early lawnmower
history in this country - for obvious reasons.

Your Atco was probably sold from 853 Hay Street (not the one in the above photos)
The building does not survive today but it looked like this:-

I'm not sure what address they moved to, but I guess it is the one in your late 1950's photos.

I guess they had more than one location - and they were involved in
the famous Redex Trials!

Cheers and thanks.
