This is his Atco Standard ...

These are recently released videos by the UK's Old Lawnmower Club.
[ Old Lawnmower Club ]

The East Anglias is a region of the UK that produced the first lawnmowers in the world.

There is something in these videos for every mower collector.
The series is called Cutting Edge: The Land of the Lawnmower.
The two-part series has never-seen-before footage of vintage mowers.

All very watchable.

The British Lawnmower Museum is located at 106-114 Shakespeare Street,
Southport, Merseyside. It is privately run and contains important examples
of vintage garden machinery.

If I travelled to the UK I would definitely visit this museum -Mower MuseumUK .
I would even like to buy the DVD, if it were not for the 'lawnmower song'.
ENJOY!
