Cheers mate, the one that I picked up today in good condition should be running tomorrow. But im going to fix the paint job on the base because it's not the original so I'll try and get it back to the original colour scheme and get the original "Automatic" decal put back on the front. It won't be mowing any lawns, it's done enough I think. But it will definitely get run quite often just because I like to sit there and listen to my mowers occasionally when the lawn doesn't need mowing I just start some of them up and let them run for a bit, just making sure they stay well lubricated. I do mow my lawns with my Mustangs and vortexes and I'm really looking forward to mowing my lawn with my cortina 2 with the old metal catcher on it. I have a long steep nature strip that leads down to on of the 2 main roads where I live so heaps of people see me Using them, I got a toot of the horn with my yellow vortex!
