Thankyou for your comments :)Dont they have Mower museums???Ok Grumpy,My intention with this model was to be as close too 100% accurate so it could be a bench mark for your acrhives and future restorers/collectors alike.The information and Images Ive provided are for the benefit of other members who may want to collect this model.The model 35 with the SB 201 two stroke only came with Gold base and Metallic Green cowl and starter.With one exception.The council model was a mirror Reverse Green base and Gold cowl.As for the engine,unlike many engines from before this era is SMOOTH cast and DID shine from new,Albeit mine may be a slightly higher sheen.As for the other parts you see,Ie flywheel and cowl carby and the like have all been Chemically cleaned,they are back to the same way they came out as new.No Silver or clear laquer paint has been used on any alloy parts.So it is in my opinion that this is a close enough representation of how it would have appeared on the show room floor.
