I know it's off topic, but I have to agree with the comments about the Automatic. It really was Victa's Ford Edsel, and, as said, you don't parade flops. They are so collectable now because they tell great stories about failure.
I do have to ask the experts here - Deejay, Mr Davis, Blumbly - a couple of question I have no answers for (I'm no Victa expert).
What evidence is there that Victa tried to downplay the Automatic, post its demise? Did it have its own Victa Code? Does it appear in the main 'Green' parts books?
All very interesting. ----------------------------------------- JACK
