OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Wanted Wanted ASAP VC-125 Mark III

I'm trying up my search for the illusive VC-125 Mark III.
Yes they are hard to find and I have been searching now for one for about 5 to 6 years.I'm starting to think I won't ever be able to find one.
Here some pictures.
This was a picture from a sales brochure.

This was the one I almost had.Bugger it got away.



If any one knows where I could get one from please let me know.
This puppy I will even freight if I can find one.Just as long as it can be packed in a box.
Thanks I hope someone can help.

Seriously? This is rare? Because its a 125?

Ooops...I scrapped one a while back....It didnt look like a normal VC and It had no catcher,but it looks the same. Didnt even know it was a VC,as it had no decal and wasnt like the first ones I know of or the autodrive. I sent this, an SB45 SB 520 and 2 rovers to my neighbour whos a scrappy.

Do they only come in green? He looks for vintage mowers for me, rotos and specials mainly. Ill show him a pic and he can keep his eye out.

My boss had a grey/silver one that looks similar, the cowl looks the same...whats that? Mustang?

Yes these are rare,harder to find than a model 1 maybe ever a model 4 automatic.You see them come on eBay every now and then,but you never see a VC-125 Mark III.Yep it does help that it's a 125cc,I mean why would anyone buy one when for around $12 more you could get a 160cc?
Yep, there was only the one model same as pictured above.
Sorry but those colours don't sound familiar to me,maybe if you could get a picture.
There were models that looked similar like the VC-sports and the VC-mustang S,but they were all 160cc models and they all had white cowls expect for the purple VC-Sports which had a blue cowl.There was a few store brands that had similar cowls and bodys.

Ok,

So what then defines them as a Mk3? What are the differences so I know what im looking for how a does a Mk1 and 2 differ....And why have I seen similar mowers on Ebay that are same colour and appear the same?

Check this topic to see what the Mark I & II look like.
VC-125 Mark I & II Restoration
There really isn't anything that looks the same as the Mark III,as I said there are a couple that look similar (as in style) but not the same colour.

Thanks to vccomm and help of squizzy a VC-125 Mark III has been found and thanks to squizzy whom is picking up for me.
Here's what it looks like.

Auuuuuutoeeeedriiiivvvvve.................

listen lad , havto wait see what santa brings

No Gizmo it doesn't complete my VC collection I'm still searching for two VC-Sports the orange one and green one,both run the G4 carby.

soooo they look like the 125 ? sports coweling or like older ones , full dress jobbies ??
man your gunna need more space soon again

Arent the VC sports the easier ones to find Blumbly? They are the ones I see most of on Ebay

They look a like these.



The orange one is the same just an orange base.
Yes HT6 they are.I had them when I was in Canberra and had to cull a lot so I thought yes these are easiest to find so I got rid of them,but now I'm having a huge problem finding the G4 model ones.I just wished I made room for them now as I'm really having troubles finding them.

hey blumbly old mate, i've finally extracted the mower i picked up for you out of my boot and snapped some shots.......




nice looking mower mate..

Arm hate to tell you but that's not the right mower.

he tried though

WHAT!!!, i'm sure that's the mower i put in the boot at the swap meet......hang on, if yours was in the boot when i went to the meet, what did i do with yours???

Oh no where has it gone?
