hey there picked up this sad old vc 160 its the purple model.
needs a little work to get up and running, is there a story behind the purple vc's

After The Super Car Scare Of 1972 And The Deimse Of The Phase 4 GT,The Parts were distributed To All VC Sports Mowers To Take The Pressure Of Ford,And They Made A Limited Run In "Wild Violet" The Rarest Colour Code...If you turn it over you should see the 9 inch and top loader..they did a real good job to camouflage The 4V 351 Too,Who Would Even Notice...Well until you started it up....What? Its my Story and im sticking to it!...Nice find actually.Like the cowl colour too,will do up real nice

Yea nice find. I picked one of these up not long ago. An urs is also missing the hardiest part to get/find. The blue catcher :-)

yeah its alright , the blue cowl is all chewed out where the starter runs, shame because all the fins are in tact .
should get it going tonight no spark

Lol mine has no spark either an so far I have replaced points an coil n still no spark so i have put it aside for awhile lol

really ? that coil i sent was out of a running engine ..
try a different fly wheel ? thats weird unless the kill switch in your carb is shorted to earth

Yea its got me stumped lol

No no no not true the purple VC-sports is the hardest and rarest of the VC-sports range. From what I've found it was to try and encourage the female buyer. It didn't work that way. Also the original catcher was a purple colour. A good find well done I'm still to restore mine. I'll will get to it. I do have the correct catcher.
