I'm hoping to scrounge the money together to put in a decent bid, I can't begin to say how much I would like this mower.
It's a 1972-1973 V111 VC-160 Series 3, which is the exact same mower I inherited from my father years ago, which started me down the path of lawnmowers.
Not only that, but I have reason to belive the current bidder is one of the "Part's Merchants" who will simply buy it, rip it apart and sell of the NOS parts individually, so that only makes me more determined to find a way to buy this one!!!
