Abstract
The world´s first powered lawnmower has taken to the grass again after a four-year restoration project by collector Andrew Hall. The 2.4m-long, 1.3-tonne Ransome 3hp was made in 1902 and purchased for ??137 (equivalent to ??15,000 today) by Cadbury???s for use at its Bournville village in Warwickshire. It was moved in 1923 to the Peugeot Talbot company sports ground in Coventry, where it stood forgotten for decades.
