OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Rare Finds & Donations VC-Auto Drive Mark I (I finally have got one)

Well after a very look and exhausting search I have finally found myself the VC-Auto Drive Mark I.I have been looking for over 12 months, appropriately.These are the pictures that were on eBay.I paid a little more but when he said he would get it to Brisbane for free I said hell yeah.The way I look at it is he is about 4 hrs drive from me or it would have cost about $70 to freight.So I reckon I'm saving with that.So the way I look at it I'm paying about $40 for it.I reckon it's worth it.

As you can see it is in fairly good condition,and it runs.

...and drives

...and I'm excited about seeing it.

He told me it should be here late next week.So as soon as I have it I will add more pictures.Run it and most likely add it to you-tube.If there are any interested party's I will put up the link for that.

Congrats man glad you got it , must get back to mine soon got a move coming up sigh.... and ive got to do the head gasget on my falcon BAH

yea ill be interested in the link. looks good :-) iam hunting around for one also :-) i love the vc's

I think I saw this one up there, I was looking at it myself, mainly for the beautiful cowl, but money is a bit to tight at the moment.

Glad to see it went to a good home, especially seeing as you have been looking for one for ages.

Thanks guys will do when she gets here,and of course you seen it Ty I showed you it before we left Canberra.

very nice VC...bugger think im getting into the VC's now to haha... I kind of want them all now you guy's have such nice examples of the VC Victa's.......

Yeah there not bad and the way I look at it is they are still around but in say 5 to 10 years they will be much harder to find.Especially in good condition.

Good stuff

Thanks Bob it's been a long time searching.

Getting worried now and maybe I shouldn't.The seller said last week it would be up here this week.Now I'm being told it will be here next week.I think next time I send a message I'll be asking for the date of which he is coming this way.

Getting excited I pick this up tomorrow.I have been informed it's in Brisbane and I even know the address. Looking forward to picking it up.Pictures will follow after I get it home.

Picked her up today so I have been busy cleaning her and making her look fabulous.She does look like she hasn't seen a lot of action.I tried to start her,she did start but didn't run.When I tried I seen that somebody had left the fuel tap on so I'm guess the carby is full of junk,so I'm guessing that�s why no run,but a start.Will get out there tomorrow and clean out the carby.So here she is for your viewing pleasure.

Before Clean

After clean

came up realy well great looking jigger

Yes I very happy.Will be happier once I get her running.

a man with your talent it wont take long

No it should be going tomorrow.I'd say it's just a dirty carby.

Thats a gorgez machine there. Hopefully one day i can own one of these. Did u see the two of these mowers on ebay that went for $50??

I did see them they were slightly newer than this one.They were the Mark II and Mark III versions.I already have those two.In-fact with this one I now have all 4.If your going to get one of these,I'd get one the next time you see one and can get it.I have been trying to find one now for over 12 months.There was only one other one that I could have got,but it was only half of one.They are getting very hard to find this version.

Yea iam huntin around to hopefully find one fairly close to me if i can :-)

Nice looking mower.


Its good that people are doing them up.
But is way better when a high percentage of the colletion is mowers in fantastic original condition.
