This looks early 70s to me. Just something about the styling and the font used for the Turner logo on the plastic catcher.
I agree with Mowerfreak on that - it looks more modern than what it is.
Why does the Turner Valiant base look different to the one above? The arch way extends around the front in the illustration but not so with the one pictured in this thread
I think Paul hints at that Mowerfreak....
I date wce's Turner Valiant to 1968.
I think the
rocket logo is symbolic of ...
1969 (moon landing!).
Paul's 'unknown' turner is of that year range - best guess.
Turner seemed to be that bit better than the mass appeal Victa offerings of the time
That's an interesting point Mowerfreak.
Turner was the first of the big mower makers to introduce the high-arch base.
They had the first poly catcher too!
Victa did catch up - with the superb
VCs of 1970.
But Turner was first!!!
