Hi all

Been trying to find some information about the 320 series Nimrod but not much luck, anyone familiar with these.

Cheers

Hello wce

I know a bit about the SB 320s and their foreign origin.

I do not recognise a 320 'Nimrod'.
I recognise a 329 'Demon', 'Nomad' and 'Multicut'.

Are you sure you mean 'Nimrod', and not 'Nomad'?
I certainly am not ruling out the name - but I do not
feel it was part of the company's Model 320 line-up.

Cheers

I'd be really careful in what context the word "Nimrod" is used...................... LOL !!!!!!!

Cheers,

Hi Jack and Bonnar Bloke

Nimrod is correct, model 320 number 12363. I have a 320 Demon and the deck colour with the orange Briggs is common to both. If I get it I will post pics.

G'day wce
Many thanks.

The issue is whether 'Nimrod' was a store brand or a factory job,
or an NZ import. Yes, I recognise the NZ connection that muddies the issue.

I feel we do need images that record the 320 Nimrod.
It may be you have a new discovery.

I have one also. Have you managed any info?

G'day TomTom and all

We still require image identification to recognise the Nimrod.
Any images welcome.

Hi TomTom

I didn't get that mower so can't help much.

she's right up the back so just a pic showing the name and ID sticker at this stage.

Hello Tom Tom
That is the information I needed!
Many thanks.

This mower was a New Zealand Morrison design that did sell
here as a Scott Bonnar Model 320.

Much of the explanation for this must reside with NZ's Challenge Corporation,
who owned both AUS Scott Bonnar and NZ Morrison at the time [mid-'70s to 1980].

This machine was sold in AUS branded as a Hunter and as a Nimrod.

My best guess is that this was a stencil rather than a store brand.
I do not believe it was a factory catalogue model.
