I found a Rover utility years ago with a similar disc shaped base to this Victa and yellow B&S engine with the side starter and exposed spinning round mesh on top. It had those classic chrome wheel caps with the small centre and a faux woodgrain cross member that collapsed the handles for storage. It got a few looks from people when I used it and was satisfying to mow with this very rudimentary model.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
