Above; An ingenious use for an Austin 7 chassis.(well half a chasis, anyways) Spotted at the 75th anniversary of the Austin 7 at The Rover Heritage Museum in Gayden, UK, this very well put together "Mowstin" utilises some early components, such as the deep dish steering wheel - very sought after (please e-mail me from anywhere in the world if you have one spare), gate change three speed gearbox, and radiator shroud of pre-28 era. The hand brake has been mounted horizontally and serves as a raising/lowering mechanism for the cutting blades. Note the absence of a drip tray - is this confidence that a glossy mower won't leak or did the owner drain the sump to save an embarassing stain on the carpet? |
