Well I went to a garage sale of an older gents house who had been put in a home and he had some good old stuff, this was on Sat I and seen a couple of mowers, I kept brousing around and ended up taking some good stuff home but no mowers, I did get an old 4 stroke Villiers engine without a sump unfortunatly but has a nice brass flywheel, so at home I got thinking I would pop around later on Sunday and see if they were still there, they were and I ended up loading them up and taking them home, I put a bit of fuel in them and both started first pull and run well, the VC160 has a real good catcher and an intact fuel cap/gauge grin Also got a rear shoot that does not look like it fits either of the mowers but someone might be able to tell me what it is off confused

That is a VC-160 mark II 1971. That is indeed a VC-160 grass shute. Lucky bugger I can't seem to find a good one. Well done good work.

Thanks Blumbly, what year and model is the 160 Special? it also has the side flap in good nick as well that I thought would not have suvived this long either, when I make up my mind what I am going to do with the VC's will keep you in mind with the shute.

cheers.
