PART TWO - Mitchell Automo
There were some clues in the photos of this curious machine.
A faded decal on the tank revealed the word �Mitchell�. I contacted the
Old Lawnmower Club�s JP expert Henry Ellis for comment. He recognised the
machine as having been made by the Mitchell Brothers in Nottingham and that
it was indeed built upon a JP Engineering Super lawnmower. However, there
was little known beyond this � 'who made the engine?', being just one question.

It was a lucky breakthrough in 2015 that revealed so much more.
I was researching a brilliant archive � The Commercial Motor Archive �
a section of commercialmotor.com, the online presence for the British
Commercial Motor Magazine. What an amazing project! A small article,
from 1924, revealed the full story.
