The red paint could put it in Rover's "red" period, so probably 1980s/90s, maybe as late as about 2013. Would the OHV be the original engine I wonder?

Mowerfreak, it's serendipity how your Victa docs have inspired
insight by virtue of their contents. They have been provocative!

Tyler certainly got the ball rolling with thoughtful comments too.

The first brochure - the Victa/BP one - has inspired great insight
by Max, way beyond my understandings.

The second one - The Pace Premier Hi-arch [V199] has been
mentioned on ODK, but nothing comprehensive.

The third one - the OP Manual c1970 is a classic example of how
Victa promoted itself in print in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Max, a great - and important - technical article there!
I have linked to this page from the original article where Grumpy
made his comments. They compliment each other.
Sincere thanks.

Thank you to all.

Well, the air filter was clean [tho' the foam was rotted], and the oil level was OK. So with any luck, the motor will be OK/fixable - Magnetron ignition, too.

However, the oil that crept slowly out of this one, was the sludgiest crud I've ever seen come out of any engine!
I do have a possible backup motor, in the shape of a Honda GXV120, too.

I'll give it a new spark plug, new oil and air filter, and see if it will fire up, soonish.

If it runs, I'll change the blade disc [it's very heavily rusted] to one off a parted-out SupaSwift Big Bob that I have here, and cut the blades down to the 18" cut Little Bob length.

The blade disc that's on it does look original, but has very heavy rust. Pic to follow.

Wish I'd never sold it. The engine had a nice motorbike sound when it was in idle and would burst into life just like the zip on the doodah campaign with that English actor!! It was so well balanced too. The handles didn't vibrate at all when it was idling.
