Here is one of those 70s models mentioned. I found it on the kerbside several months ago. It's an old style Briggs motor with a fancy cowl stuck on top.
It looks suspiciously like Masport got some inspiration from Victa for the catcher styling.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
