what changed my mind was the fact that its a part of the Australian history and its Australian made and i think its amazing how old they are and the have lasted this long

Hello hellraiser and Contributors

For me, the Model 5 'Special' personifies the classic Victa.
This is the machine that made Victa a household name across Australia.

When the Model 1 was introduced, Victa was just starting a National network,
and had their first Sales Manager. It's the Model 5, though, that changed
everything - in terms of sales success.

I wish we could get a clear answer on the paint thing.
Some say 'Avocado Green'; others 'Brunswick'.

I think Brunswick Green belongs to the earlier models.
The special had a lighter hammer finish - is that right?
I am so confused about Victa paint colours...

Any help appreciated for the record - and good advice to restorers.
Here is the first production Special (from the Powerhouse Museum)...
