OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Collectors Corner Identification of Particular Machines RANSOMES Sprite

Hello Royo1980
"Interesting" is an interesting word ...

This was Ransomes' effort to make a cheaper domestic reel mower to
compete with the new lightweight machines from Qualcast and the like.

It adopted a similar styling approach to that of the Conquest that I
have written about: https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=58735

I particularly like the 2-stroke machine because of that teardrop
fuel tank. The styling is certainly not to suit all tastes. Perhaps
an operator, wearing a gold coloured shower cap, would love this one.

Value: these come up too infrequently at auction. The last one I
saw was in 2012. Advertised for a small sum, it failed to attract
a bid. Pity that, these machines do have some charm.

Here's the four-stroke version.
