I still would love one in my collection, just to have one! It's nothing to do with how well they ran or their problems, it's about the technology and its another piece of Victa history.
(You know I love the history side of things MF)

Price? What am I willing to pay at the moment, well, nothing because they are out of the price range of the level I'm at. But that doesn't mean if I'm cash happy down the track that I wouldn't spend well over $500 for, at least a basic runner.

All that being said, I'd rather an 85cc lightweight before a twin....
Hi everyone,
Sorry I have to disagree and agree with you Seanoss. I only want to collect mowers that were successful and reliable, not a blunderbus like the terrible twins.
Pity you can't remotor them with a 160. They have a great base and nice but hard to find catcher.
If only they made a high output 160 version. Now that wOuld be collectable and useable.

The compact was a great concept that was a better proposition for it's segment.


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