A few months ago I got an opportunity to purchase a Victa Viceroy model 517.So naturally I did,I mean why wouldn't you.It isn't in the greatest condition but considering their rare it's not like one can pick and choose.There is going to be a huge amount of work I need to do to the engine as it appears it got a fair amount of water in it.Also it doesn't turn over to well.The base itself is in great condition all the metal plates underneath are all there and not rusted at all.
It also came with it's original catcher and all of the other accessory's that they came out with.
She unfortunately was missing the carby and air cleaner.The air cleaner is going to be especially hard to find another one.Also she didn't have any starter either.
Here what she looks like.

That's the style air filter assembly the Viceroy ran.That is the same for both the Model 505 & 517.
I will at some point put a wanted add up as well as ask now.If anybody has one that needs a new home let me know please.
All in all I was very happy with this rare find.There is certainly enough to do a restore and bring her back to life.

Here for a good time,not a long time.
