The biggest thing with this mower is to ignore the paint job, the previous owner was a member of the old machinery club over here and had a tendency to go mad with dulux rebuilds.
I have chased its ownership history and the only things that are not original are the handle bars and exhaust on motor. combined ownership history goes back 40 odd years with the first owner I tracked down also claiming it was acquired second hand from someone else.
Cheers Sir Bat.
