Very well used, and abused, the only parts its needed in 17 years apart from oil and blades being a couple of spark plugs, a new throttle cable and a deck shield. Oh and a piece of wire to hold the axle together. Hasn't been ran for months and started on the first pull, no smoke.

Continuing the strange automotive theme with Victa models, check out that mighty Sprint 375 engine  |
Just shows you with a lot of comments on the thread how much we can share a similar affinity to mowers and ground equipment that we do with our cars . Your No. 1 proves that . I feel like that with my Rover actually . I've got other mowers but she's a trouble free favourite ..Exactly the same with my AU ll Futura ..same exact thing . Another thing is brand preference like cars . Kind of the Ford v Holden thing with Stihl and Husqvarna chainsaws , now in various other implements (brushcutters , trimmers, hedgers, blowers etc etc etc.) with those two giants of the industry .
Re Victa ..I found this the other day ..Have a scroll through and you'll see a heap of automotive related names , many Ford names too mixed in among them .. Brings back memories...
