Hi DOnsean and Seanoss,
that mower you pictured DOnsean looks like a VC Sport with a cover from the slightly later self propelled PowerPlus model. Note the different outline on the front of the dress cowl for the powerplus decal.
Nice pic of a survivor there. Does it work?
I imagine getting parts for a Victa of that vintage to be much more difficult your way.
This high arch chassis was feature packed even for now, as was the first VC chassis before it.
The ones that stand out was the two piece rear flap which let you insert the catcher onto the machine without having to lift the flap first as you had to in later thumb latch series like the Corvette, Corsair and store brand alloy thumb latch series as well as Vortex and other thumb latch models with the Powertorque engine in the 80s.
The other feature was the premium quick release handles which had teeth that allowed you to lock them in varied positions for going under bushes or to increase general mowing comfort. The previous premium mid arch chassis also featured these handles.
