Thanks for the reply Jack, and yes I love it to.......things that where never intended to be kept, and the fact that it's model specific for the Victa 18 special is a bonus.
Those other ads you showed do seem to use the same copy, and offer a 'at home' demo also, so it would seem to me that the copy for the ad campaign was the same whether used in print media which the dealers organize or in the flyers which by the blank dealer stamp part, would seem to be supplied by Victa.
And the point you make about the 60's mowers being more about safety and features, as the mower bases became more skirted and the side shoot started to disappear, how could Victa still claim it could clear jungles???
Something I find a little interesting in talking about this flyer is, and excuse my ignorance here chaps, is this flyer includes only the special , however most other brochures and owners manuals i've got/seen of that period always seems to include the standard as well, any thoughts?? cheers pete
