G'day all.

Found this slightly messy beauty in hard rubbish yesterday - I love tinkering, although mainly with classic cars, so I thought I'd try to get it back up and running.

Am completely new to mowers (apart from the weekly lawn trim) so can anyone help me with identifying it a little further?

The sticker on the front reads: Victa V160 'Big V' and from what I've gleaned on this forum over the last hour or so it's the Victa 160cc engine with what looks like a G4 plastic carby. Am I heading in the right direction?

It has no starter so will need to source one of those. Any ideas what type I need? Can I use one of the Zip starters?

The casing doesn't have any holes in it so I am not sure whether this would have originally been fitted with a cowl.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!
