The Saphire was introduced in 1964 and was an interesting design, inboard rear wheels and a very large aluminium rear catcher that is a true work of art in the way it is put together.
Hello Paul and Mystyler
These are the first detailed images I have seen of the Sapphire.
I had no idea the catcher was aluminium. Turner claimed c1967
that it was the largest grass catcher of any domestic AUS mower!

I feel Turner was the most bold and innovative of AUS mower makers
in the 1960s. It is amazing that the Sapphire was still being sold along-
side the more moder Valiant (with plastic catcher) in 1967!

Paul, Many thanks - again - for adding to the record on these rare lawnmowers.
