Hi Paul We recently bought a mower from Mr Bricolage which we are very please with. It's a GCV160 ( http://www.mr-bricolage.fr/outillage-jardin/tondeuse-et-scarificateur/tondeuse-thermique/tondeuse-thermique-4x1-gcv-160.html?magasin=chateaubernard-cognac#tabs-caracteristiques ). It's a touch over your budget but when we bought it, it was on offer at €329. It collects, mulches and does side and rear ejection. The engine is a Honda, it has a single lever to raise and lower the deck and has rear wheel drive which pulls like a randy horse... All in all, it's a very good bit of kit. Good luck EAMONN
