Italian Made MAC fiberglass body mower with Aspera Tecumseh 2 Stroke
Hello, new to the Forum. Recently acquired a unique power mower. MAC with fiberglass body and Aspera motor. Looking for information and anyone else who may own one. Have always enjoyed older mowers of all types. Please see pictures. Appears to have a throttle for choke and speed control. Thank you

Amazing. With what looks like
BAmazing. With what looks like an Aspera TA633 2-stroke it must have been a little screamer. Even looks as though the right hand handle bar has a throttle twist grip - presumably with the cable running down the inside of the handle tube.

Superlegerra still make hi end car body's for Alfa Romeo etc check out the Disco Volante it's a stunning work of art. Just guessing but maybe they had some fun with a lawnmower project at some point. If so it probably belongs in the lawn mower museum!

Good grief, it's Thunderbird
Good grief, it's Thunderbird 2 reborn as a lawnmower! I know nossink about it, but that badge on the front is that of the bodybuilders (in car terms!) Carozzeria Touring of Milano. Their trademark Superlegerra designs were of aluminium over a tubular frame, I think, but I s'pose GRP counts.
What a fascinating thing!
