Nice to see the old Westwood kit. When restoring the cultivator, what was the paint you used as that's the same colour as my Gazelle when Westwood orange paint seems too orange than the old red/orange paint on the cultivator and gazelle. Thanks.
Rover Vermillion from Halfords, it was the closest I could find and replenish easily
Nice shed but it depends how you rate the security risk but it looks as though the door hardware is just screwed on.
Not easy to see but are those hinges and the bolt secure? One coach bolt through each side of each hinge in place of a screw and similar for each side of the bolt . Long enough to go right through with decent washers and nuts on the inside.
A lower than usual turnout for the Meet and Greet today which was disappointing, however those that did bother put on a good little display, so many thanks gents and ladies who did turn up.
Here's some photos. including some from the Museum of Gardening that is at the Garden Centre we meet at...
Not sure about who the importers were, I did find this advert in an old UK gardening magazine...
From the little I have found about these they were built from the early 70's until the mid 80's, by the engine numbers the two I have are 1981 and 1982...
Whilst at the Kingsfold Rally with our Mowett Mustang ride on, I got talking to a chap who offered me another rolling chassis of a Mustang for not a great deal of money.
I went to collect it last Saturday from down on the South Coast, the chap also had a complete one with a home made deck that he also agreed to part with, also a rather rare Mustang bag for the original mowing deck - these decks are notorious rotters so not surprising that they are soon disposed of !
Here's some photos...
Photo 1 shows the first Mustang at Kingsfold, photo 4 shows our dog Bella checking out the new arrivals...
