Evening all

Saw this victa purple vc sports on gumtree

Paint looks ok and the catcher looks fine on the top.

At $75, it might be good for someones collection if it hasn't been straight fueled

For the record I will move this to a better forum - to
save your find.

The red/white VC Sports was more popular, but this
one shouts Saturday Nigh Fever!

This was Victa at its boldest.

Many thanks for recording this!

Many thanks CyberJack

Whenever I see something on gumtree in good nick like this or the FC mustang last month or the free Lightweight last year, I try to post it on here. Better everyone on ODK knows about it, might end up preserved in someones shed/collection as opposed to just a cheap old mower.

Disco purple to some, Disco putrid to others.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

It looked like mine before i repainted it Interesting that it has a blue catcher mine was black before i painted it purple to match the frame, i wonder what the original colour of the catcher was?

Tommorrow is a mystery

That is why it is called the present.

I think that's a result of sun bleaching Hermosil. Definitely purple originally.
