That mower just did it for me. It was the first high arch Victa I saw with the old fashioned carburettor. I was totally intrigued at the modern sleek engine cover in combination with that.
It would fart and sputter on start up and make a unique deep groan as it ran. It was a sight to behold.
I also love how the engine pokes out the side from the cover in that organic way. They look good both with or without the catcher.
The second one I saw being used only days later made the same deep groan.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
