If it comes down to the superior 160cc engine the PT does win hands down. My opinions are purely based on looks. There are some early model mowers that are very collectable, rare and valuable but im not interested unless one falls into my lap for a cheap price, purely because they don't visually appeal to me.
So it's nothing against the PT itself, it's the change from fashion and flair to putting preference on profits. That's fair enough in this capitalist world. If I was in the management department and it's all about profit, I do the same! I don't like most 60's models either, too Brady bunch for me all those lifeless colour schemes. So it's just my taste in looks, not the mower or engine itself. I'll amend my preview statement about the only one I'd want in my permanent collection would be the chrome one to, I'd take the silver/chrome one and a Mustang with the optional V40 cowl. I did like the white and black 2 tone with mower and catcher, with red accents on decals like the TORBO DISC decal on the base of mine.
