Hello CT mowers

I guess the date is about lake 1960s.
I would love to see a close-up of the maker's plate.
I'm not sure if the Princess is the precursor to the Challenger.
This ad ... December, 1969.

Hello CT Mowers
Well, that's quite the collection there.
My favourite would have to be the early 1960s Rover with the Briggs.
These are not common at all, and one to keep.

To return to the Rover Princess...
I have found an ad from 1970 that matches up nicely with your machine.
This was a mid-arch design destined for the storebrand market.

Waltons store. I don't know if they were a national store or just Victoria, Australia. They would sell you a household appliance on terms and every month a person would call on you to make a payment and when the item was paid off or near the end of the term, they would get you, the housewife, to buy something else. Forerunner to Harvey Norman and GO finance.

Waltons, another great company destroyed by Alan Bond

Waltons had stores in Queensland as well, I remember a large store in Fortitude Valley on Brunswick Street.

Hey ct mowers,you weren't kidding when you said you have a lot.would it be possible to get a pic of all of them running at the same time, no rush.

he doesn't have enough PhippH, he needs to buy some of mine

if i had all of them running that would be as loud as a diesel locomotive

awesome collection there mate.

you want them?

Wow what a totally awesome collection you there CT Mowers.
Here's some of the pictures that didn't come up.


What an awesome Utility this one is.It would look better in my collection.As I have the model before and the model after,but not this one.
