Hi would any one know where to purchase scott bonnar stickers for 45 series reel mower,also i just purchased a scott bonnar supercut with a bsa engine ,how old would it be and rarety thanks blueygt

Hi blueygt,

to the forum. I am sure when Deejay sees this post he will reply to the sticker question. If you try this place RUSTIC SPARES they might be able to help. The BSA engine should have some numbers on it that might help to identify how old it is as well.

Hi Mark, and a big warm welcome to the forum. It's nice to have another Scott Bonnar owner onboard.
We all love to learn new things and tinker here; we also like to see 'before and after' pics of our members projects.

Now to your questions, Re: stickers and decals for your Model 45.... Unfortunately, Scott Bonnar were taken over by Rover Australia many years ago, and they have recently been taken over by a conglomerate themselves. No stickers exist.

To my knowledge, no one is (at present) manufacturing original Scott Bonnar decals or stickers. To make it even more difficult, the Model 45 has 2 different designs. The early design is shown here in a restoration by one of our forum members, deviosi; click HERE

The later design is in the style of a shield. We are at present trying to put together a series of templates of original stickers, that can be replicated by Rustic Spares and will be sold through the forum online store.

Now to your Model 17 Supercut. It would have been built in Adelaide, as the Model 17 was first manufactured in 1950. They came in 2 widths of cut; a 14" and a 16" and later as a 18" machine.... both in petrol and 240V electric.
Most of the early machines had 147cc Mark 25C Villiers petrol engines fitted, so yours, with a BSA engine may be a rarer mower.
The Model 17 Supercut was the Rolls-Royce of mowers in its day, many were built, and are still in use today which is a credit to the design team and Scott Bonnar generally.

I hope this information is of help, once again Mark,

Hi Mark, this is what the shield logo looked like, except it was in black lettering, black border on a clear background.

By the way Mark, can you please post some pics of both your Scotties, as I'm sure all members would love to see 'em.
Thanks mate,

Thanks very much for your info ,being a new member i have to congratulate you guys on your website ,heaps of useful info thanks blueygt will post some pics as soon as i work out how to do it

Deejay, on your recent post #17875, is there any reason why i can't see the picture of what the logo looked like?
I'm also curious about the sitckers / logo's. Cheers.

Since this post is over 12 months old, I will now close it.
