They seem to be catching on now Jack, my Facebook page is promoting it, the orange Victa's are going through the roof now, what I use to call junk is now worth $120 in an un restored condition! People love them now.
The Pope 320-01 is becoming super popular as well, someone just traveled 1200 Kilometers to get 2 this weekend. Might become the next Victa Automatic, maybe a cowl will become a $300 part, $100 for the rope guider thingy... Wouldn't that be wonderful!
Most of the collectors only care about the rarer models being perfect now, some are still a bit spaz about it.
The other day some guy scolded a bloke because he said restored but the engine wasn't a Tiger but the mower was a Palmer. It was his dads mower and his dad had recently died, bloke didn't care though, all he cared about was swearing at him and pointing out everything wrong with it....
Oh well, people will over react.
Thanks Jack and Slash!
