I did see a couple of Sunbeam factories in different states and noticing different castings of the
Sunbeam Lawnkeeper ,made me think the Lawnkeeper was made in NSW and Victoria.
All speculation on my part about where the Lawnkeeper was made,just wondered if that
was a plausible speculation or not.
Hi
Max and
PaulI was a bit slow on the uptake here ... Max, credible speculation in my books.
I think Victa and Sunbeam were not close enough for the Lawnkeeper to have been
made in any Victa factory.
But I do feel the Lawnkeeper is proof that Victa and Sunbeam had an undisclosed
association before Sunbeam's 1970 takeover.
Secret deals were, after all, in Victa's DNA.
Paul, I can't help but appreciate - now - just how handsome the Turners were.
Victa seemed to have a classical modern style in the 1960s ... but more
conservative than Turner.
Turner seemed to comprehend the
zeitgeist of the space race and the Moon landings!
If Victa and Sunbeam had a
degree of collaboration, I'm sure Turner
remained a staunch competitor with its nemesis, Victa Mowers!
Brilliant thread and work by Paul and Max.
Thank you
