Just a little correction there.It's not a Victa 18 standard it is actually a Model 4 standard.1957-59.It's not the automatic.It does have the bolt holes on either side to put the side guards on it.You could also put the automatic badge on the handles bars and it would still be correct.There is some argument that victa made quite of lot of these to be the automatic,but they flopped. So then they were send out without the flaps and the dual cable carby and classed as a model 4.
