Hello ODK History Lovers
This 16-page booklet is a great historical record for Scott Bonnar's
domestic range for the 1979-1980 season - the 1980 Range.

This 1980 range brochure would be the last produced with New Zealand
owners Challenge Corporation. Australia's UPL Group Ltd - through its
Rover Mowers division - would acquire Scott Bonnar in late 1980, merging
these two great companies as Rover-Scott-Bonnar.

The advertising campaign theme for the 1979 and 1980 ranges was 'Muscles'
and the booklets were, "Scott Bonnar's Guide to Power Gardening".

The 1979 and 1980 range brochures were similar but with noticeable stylistic
changes and a tweaked model line-up. The rotary/reel model split was now
about 60/40. The popularity of the domestic reel lawnmower would continue
its slide throughout the 1980s.
