Thank goodness I removed the lawn many years ago!

I hope it can be returned to Glenn sometime.

This is a rare Vincent lawnmower manufactured by Vincent (motorcycles) manufacturing.

I was just informed that this item was reported stolen by an individual in Chicago some years ago. I am ending this auction to perform due diligence on this piece to find out exactly what is going on here.....


And to think I was this close to ordering sod so I could bid and put it to use!

Make Glenn an offer!

 

[Mr. Boring]

I would but I'm worried the item is as hot as it's muffler after a hours use.

The "height" adjustment looks interesting.

 

[Mr. Boring]

And I thought it was a blade adjustment. I think I'll reconsider my bid!

I believe that Glenn used a Brampton knob there.
