Hi,

Thanks for the replies. Having done a bit of research there are obviously some rare mowers which sound like the ones to have ie the twin cylinder victa. I appreciate the advice on the vc 125. Maybe it is a good start and if something more desirable came along I could trade up.

There are so many similarities between mowers and the scooter community and I'm sure most old machinery for that matter. I really don't want to start a collection - rather just have a nice useable classic. I'm a big fan of oriniality and patina over restoration so if this example is mostly original, then that appeals to me.

What is the key difference of the Mark II? Do they have a decomp head? Brass bush gudgeon pin or roller bearing?

If anyone sees a better option please let me know.

Cheers
Wasp
