Hi,

I have been collecting various vc160s for the past few months, of which most have been looking pretty sad and are in need of alot of work. I have started stripping down a couple of them with the hopes of creating a working example of a great lawnmower, and also having one of each of the vc160 models.

Are there any tips that anyone could possibly provide to point me in the right direction? I am chasing alot of replacement parts, ie. New throttle control, air intake hose, air filter housing etc as these items on most of my mowers are buggered. I have noticed that they are now discontinued on this site. Does anyone know where I could acquire new or good condition items? I am unsure which air filter & cutting blades to purchase for the vc160 mk 1,2,3 mowers. If any one could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Finally, I have acquired a red vc160 Mk 3 or 4 (I am unsure which mark) as per the pictures. This was the mower that originally started my interest in these machines. I was wondering whether this colour is legitimate, as it only has no evidence of being repainted.

Cheers.
