Woowee!
One Of my Favorites, the 1973-1974 VC-Sports, Coded V137.
Series 70 MKIII Engine, the last to use the G3 Carby, it was essentually the same as the MKII engine, using a decompressor and recoil starter combined for Victa's famous 'Zip' start system, however minor alterations were made to the ignition, and a few minor updates to the carby.
This was the First sports, it was a major part of the line up that came in in 1973 to replace the VC-160 which had run from 1970. The Line up included the VC Sports in multiple colour options (the first time there was a choice in colour) the VC Mustang, again in more than one colour, the colpletly restyled VC-125 (now given the appearence of the Sports) and the Impala (available in 2 & 4 Stroke)
From a collection stand point, other interesting mowers to go aside this one would be anything from it's coluor spread (Orange/White, Green/White, and Purple/Aqua) or any of the 73 Mustangs (Green/Green & Red/White)
Restoration wise, it looks damn near perfect, the nose is a little pushed in, but everything seems to be original and intact, catch lever not snapped, starter grip correct (designed to fit the mustang too) and all the right wheels. provided the air filter and throttle lever set up are right (not visible), she's spot on!
