Hi Kye

These are obviously super-rare because they never sold.
It was a bold experiment - to see whether Aussies would take to
rotaries with rollers.

The only market where these designs were - and still are - successful
is the UK. I feel the reasons for success in that market are historical.
They loved their lawn stripes, but they wanted the rotary to match
their lifestyle. Masport tried here too, but failed - yet today, they
still offer them in the UK. Mountfield still make a range too.
