James May: The Reassembler

S01E01 Lawnmower

James is confronted with the challenge of assembling a 1959 petrol lawnmower, consisting of 331 parts. The Suffolk Colt revolutionized lawn care by offering a compact and budget-friendly option for maintaining lawns across the country. His initial focus is on reassembling the engine, followed by tackling the gearing, clutch, and blades. With just his toolbox and an endless supply of tea, James navigates the emotional rollercoaster that comes with the effort to restore a piece of history, one component at a time.
