All that is quite possibly off-topic, but my point is that by the standards of the time (1960s) that SupaSwift-Villiers was quite a good mower in my opinion. By the standard of a good Briggs mower, its engine let it down, mainly due to it having a British magneto - but those good Briggs mowers didn't arrive until ten years later. A ten year life-span as a good mower by the standards of the time, is a pretty good record.
Quite so. Their ignition reliability issues led me to take to calling Villiers engines 'villainous', in my time in the family garden/farm machinery business in the 1970's.
