this is a local one for me its on sunday 8th june 

they used to have one of the rounds of the lawnmower racing here cant see it this year perhaps it isnt happening there anymore

maybe worth a look though

Perhaps we can have a Boadicea gathering at Tractorfest....

yes lets do it maybe we can actually do some grasscutting 

this sounds like a nice show if im not on holiday that weekend I will be there its local for me

That Ransomes Tornado is very similar to my Suffolk Galaxy...

it is isn't it I dragged it out of a shed in heathfield for 99p put a new plug cap on and it fired straight up

Where are you in the country Ben,perhaps we will have to meet up and have a grand Boadicea display !!

 

Have you got any literature on them ??

im based at greatstone in kent near Dungeness im about 25 miles from nigel at hawkhurst

regarding literature etc im on the case I have a mate in somerset who knows another chap who used to build these up from new im trying to get the holy grail out of him at the moment which is a new in box Boadicea he has literally hundreds of mowers in his barn which is 100ft long its stacked to the roof with everything he is the man to speak to im on it   

Titch has already done those easystart decals for me before, with this evenings new arrival I will be needing another one !!

what have you got ???

is this still up for grabs

Looks like a good collection, whats the little red unit with the JAP two stroke on it ??

it came from a little ransomes cylinder mower I found out the other day there is one on e*** at the moment but its silly money

Cool photos, glad you got them posted, just need to rotate them before you post them

yes I know cant quite work out how to do that yet

here are a few of my collection

very early hayter with Villiers vortex machine no 300 ish cant remember exactly

early hayter with split grassbox and crankstart

ransomes tornado with Clinton 2 stroke engine

very early rotoscythe county

sorry there all the pictures are round the wrong way not very good with pooters

here are a couple of pics of my mowers I find them quite addictive every time I find one I feel compelled to save it

theres one theres a few more in various states

^{sorry for being completely stupid how do I get pics up here}

Seven !!  Blimey I  thought I was being greedy having two !!

 

Did i outbid you then, sorry but its gone to a good home !!

as long as its being looked after I don't mind

hi

I too have a soft spot for these little machines I have 7 and still adding to the collection

im due to collect my next one in the near future

I will post some pictures very soon

Won another Boadicea yesterday, picking it up Wednesday evening all going well, this one is a runner and has the optional wheels on it, so worth getting...

I wondered who had outbid me!!!!!
