Hi Jack and Ian,
Jack raises an interesting observation there about the adaptor plate, this base was for a new mower complete with a modern rear catcher. The base is drilled to take the Villiers Lightweight four stroke engine and an adaptor plate was used to fit the Villiers Torquemajor two stroke as an option.

Southern Cross did not have success with the Villiers four stroke and decided to fit their own robust four stroke in its place, this required another adaptor plate to be cast. You can see the adaptor plate under the engine in the pic below. This is a friends mower who is also a Southern Cross Collector.
