Deejay some of the ones I remember were dark green, not hammertone or metallic, and I think some were black. Some of them had the wheels painted with silver-frost. The varnish on the wooden bits didn't last long out in the weather - I only ever saw residual bits of it, and it wasn't as dark as al's varnish. Because there were both Qualcast and Ogden mowers involved, I don't really recall which colours went with which brand. They were regarded as rock-bottom mowing: those with pretensions to grandeur had an ATCO-man come and do the job, or used little electric mowers (English ones with vertical motors: they didn't seem very effective to me). At this late date I don't recall engine-driven mowers being in private hands in those days.
