Evening all
Bit off topic, but I am quite interested in the first of Maxwestern's photos - a 1980 Victa 125 ute. I always though the 125 was axed in 1978.
But the facts don't lie, a 125 being sold being sold in December 1980.

Hi Tyler, It seems you may have settled a question I posed earlier this year on when the 125 was axed. No one could give a definitive answer but 1977 was suggested. One thing that made me think at least a year later was the fact a former neighbour had a 125 high arch with an LM white float chamber cap with a black "press once only" deck label pointing right toward the primer bulb. The LM was released in 1978, so your suggestion fits in with my theory that it was discontinued sometime after the LM was introduced. 1978 is probably it.
That one in the 1980 catalogue is probably left over stock. I recall yellow Vortex still being displayed alongside the white Mustang GTS replacement (introduced in 1987) well into 1988 and even possibly 1989 from memory.
