As for 1975 mowers the G3 carby had been totally replaced by the G4 carby.
Hello Blumby
I just re-checked all my records.
The first reference to the G4 occurs, as expected, in late 1975 for the 1976 Range.
Same thing for the Twin (released after Sept 1).
For most of 1975, Victas were fitted with the G3.

To verify this I only looked at factory advertisements.
Here are two ads - the first from January, 1975; the second
from August, 1975 (just before the new 75-76 season.)
NOTE: the ZIP HIP HOORAY campaign and Alan Moffat, both feature
in my 1975 booklet.

I should be able to date your "Big Grass Band" brochure.
I'm afraid that 1975 isn't close there. That brochure and
campaign date from late 1977 for the 1978 season.

The first clue to this was the Victa Compact / Lightweight on the cover.
Victa's own documents show this mower was introduced in late 1977.
The second clue was the campaign itself, again ... late 1977.
Your brochure covers the 1978 'range'.

One final point. It appears to me that the concept of a fixed range
breaks down in 1975. Victa became more flexible as it moved to being
a garden products company - selling makes from around the world.

I can't say I have seen a reference to a fixed Victa Range by year after 1974.

Hope this helps.
