If nothing else, that's only £100 for a 4.5hp petrol engine for an unnecessarily dangerous and ill advised go-kart project...

Nice PSA!

Bargain. Good luck finding one in stock smells of a lure.

dangle something great in front of you to get you in.

£100 for a decent lawnmower, sorry they all sold out/limited stock but as you are here take a look at all this other stuff

"Out of stock for Home Delivery. Please check back soon."

"Unavailable for Click & Collect. Please check your local store stock."

Check stock in my local, and not so local shops:

"Not stocked"

Mountfield is B&Q's own brand. The quality is crap IME.

It's got a Honda engine; can't be that bad!

Mountfield is not a B&Q own brand.
They're owned by an Italian company, but it's true that the majority of the mowers they make now are poor quality.
This one however with an aluminium deck and Honda engine will last most users a very, very long time.
Needless to say I've got an order in for one as my self propelled, mulching Toro has been eaten by rust 👿

If they honour it, which sadly I doubt. It's an insane price; got to be an error.

the aluminium deck honda powered mowers like this are nearer £1000 not £100

that was probably a listing error - which in the small print it will say they don't have to supply

so wait and see
