Yes Unkie,it is very confusing and a topic for a later date as it doesnt directly impact the Automatic,more so the Whole of Victas Early Models.. All the points I made have some validity,but as yet no one has come forward with an accurate Answer.
In regards to the stickers, Your friend has made a valid point and one id thought about previoulsy. The fact that half the examples have stickers and the others dont doesnt explain conclusively. If a sticker was issued it would at least for some have to be Concord green and red. Now some examples also show some outline markings where a sticker once was. Again not conclusive. Now to read the badge you would have to get down,crane your neck,hit your head on the bars or read upside down....Or put the handles down to read it...lmao. (Na im just clowning) Im going with the sticker for now as both mine have them,especially with the original owned one I have. The use of them later is also valid,as trully to read the badge may have been a hassle? Also Every other Victa in the early Era had a visible fuel mix sticker. Another way to check is Again your parts book. Genrally even stickers have Pt nos,see if there is reference to them in your Parts Cat. Also if you can raise the owner of 10107 and ask,as it appears even his may have a slight shadow or trace/outline of an original sticker. More examples will help,But your friend has a very Credible case at this Point!
Another interesting AD..In regards to your question...The answer is NOTHING:) This is the point of the Ad...they were expanding to now OFFER to other states. FACT: If you wanted a rotomo outside sydney you had to buy it from Sydney. or you bought whatever mower was on offer in that state...Pace, Villiers ETC...Or buy it in Sydney and get it transported to your State:)
