Hi all, great forum

Picked up this 18 last week from the auctions, no one seemed to be interested so I bought it for a song.
I need to I.D. the old girl (year, model, etc) before I begin the resto, so if anyone could help with that I'd greatly appreciate it.

The mower turns over and runs, none too well but runs it does!! The period 'strut' attached to the handle appears to only hold the handle in the upright position, as the fold bracket doesn't do up tight and slips. There are no cracks visible on the handle tubes or the bracket.

I gave it a bit of a steam clean to get rid of years of oil and dirt/grass.
Engine No #110107 with the number #3 stamped under it on the lower case.

After researching on here I believe it is a 'Predicta' converted to a later model setup? I've gone a bit crazy with the pics 'cos I'm a bit excited to have it!!

I've added the 'Before' shot, as I picked it up
