Hello exfarmer and Paul C

I'm glad a member has saved one of these.
They represent the best of British engineering.

I have yet to write a history record on them, but I can date your machine.
It is a post WWII machine, sold on these shores from early 1950 onward.
I think this is the last model.

These were expensive, top-line machines selling for almost 100 quid.
They competed with imported Ransomes, Greens, Qualcast, and the like.

I would be curious to know if behind the cover is an all-gear transmission,
like the earlier designs.

Hope this helps.
