What made Victa develop this more bloated design?
I suspect it was a combination of cheaper production and more modern hi tech looks to get the customers in. The T bar throttle was a clever way to remind people of the t bar automatic in a car which was taking off at the time, particularly on smaller cars.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
