It's a Sunbeam mower. They were very good for their time. It was our first lawnmower when my folks came to Australia in 1961 and eventually got replaced by a Victa VC-160 Mk II around 1973~4ish if my memory serves me correctly.

Hi Speedy and Bonnar_Bloke,
man that red one really pops in restored condition.
Interesting concept.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

The only thing that looks bad on it was those cheap Chinese Red wheels when it should've had white plastic units which are probably no where to be found I'd say.
