Maybe any people of Levantine descent go for this psychedelic 70s purple number.
One time back in 88, I saw one such looking family using one with a faulty muffler with the engine surging well past the normal rev level!! It was as loud as an air raid siren. I was walking to the railway station which was another ten minutes away, and I could still hear it at the ticket office! Memories.
We knew one Italian family who had the similarly styled green VC 125. I found it so funny that people were mentioning Italians in this thread.

Anyhow, what a grand resto we have here!! I love the use of self propelled rear wheels and the more modern thumb latch catcher. I have been lying in bed lately, wondering what that catcher would look like on this style of mower and here it is in PURPLE!! What a great start to 2017.
A couple of questions. Did you use plastic primer to paint the catcher?? And what is the exact brand of paint you used? Looks teriffic!!
