COMMENT: This is such a clever TV ad. Note how the Senior Citizen Centre setting is balanced by the youthful scouts using some of the mowers. This is about Victa's capacity to build community. And doesn't the actor Tony Bonnar (from Skippy) make an appearance? And doesn't Gordon Chater (Mavis Bramston Show) do likewise?
I love Alan Moffat as the service station attendant. And look at that purpose-built riding seat for Noel Brophy! I wonder where that is now?
Combine all this with the famous catchy jingle of 'Zip on the doo-dah' and Victa had money in the bank - green-gold - Texas tea - Milperra money.
I wonder how much Victa paid to modify that Hollywood ditty ? ...
