Thats a definate NO CJ....There is no reference documents or images relating to a leaf guard being used on the Automatic. Ill tread carefully here as ive not yet found a release date for them. They were however an option just as the toe ring was. The early model 5 special std 3 roto and the model 4 std also did not feature them in there early release. Predominantly they are seen on model 5 series 2 and 3 mostly as the recoil starter became more of a std fitment on these models and toward the end of the model 5 run... So I cannot confirm a release but im almost certain it was around mid to late model 5 series 1 possibly around the 250,000 mark...But in time ill find an accurate release. But....As with all restos its your choice to fit if you like, and truthfully there is nothing to say it wasnt offered to previous victa owners as a safety feature which could be fitted on their existing earlier models.
