The search for the UK’s oldest Flymo is on!
This year marks an incredible milestone for Flymo as we celebrate turning 60! Since the iconic hover mower glided into gardens across the UK in 1965; Flymo has become a much-loved brand for garden owners. To celebrate our big birthday; we’re officially on the search for the UK’s oldest Flymo lawnmower. Do you have an old Flymo hiding in your shed or garage? Has it been with you since the 70s or 80s? We’re searching high and low to find the oldest, most cherished Flymo lawnmowers.
Flymo - By your side for 60 years
Back in 1965, Swedish inventor Karl Dahlman revolutionised the way we mow our lawns, inspired by hovercraft, he didn’t just reinvent the wheel, he removed them completely. Unlike the heavy rotary mowers of the time, Flymo’s hover mowers glide on a cushion of air, making them lightweight and easy to use.
From the moment Flymo launched their first hover mower, it was clear this was no ordinary mower. For generations, Flymo has been caring for lawns on a mission to make garden care easy and dare we say…fun!?
Your Flymo story brought to life
To mark 60 years of innovation, we’re bringing the nostalgia to life. This year, we’re honouring the legacy of Flymo with a special campaign to track down the UK's oldest Flymo lawnmower. Whether it’s a treasured family heirloom or the one you’ve used for decades, we want to hear your Flymo story!
Flymo isn’t just about lawnmowers; it’s about memories. For many, Flymo represents family tradition, afternoons spent in the garden, the quick garden tidy before the big family BBQ, and that satisfying buzz as the mower glides effortlessly across the grass. We’re proud to bring that nostalgic feeling back as we celebrate six decades of keeping lawns lush.
