G'day everyone,
Back to the original topic of brand new Victa 2 strokes, when was the last time anyone here saw a brand new Victa 2 stroke being sold in a major retailer like Bunnings?
I can't remember the last time I saw a 2 stroke in there but it must be many years ago now. See even those big retailers were not helping the struggling sales of the good old Victa 2 stroke before these emissions standards ever came into effect. I think also it's alot to do with the current owners B&S wanting to sell their own 4 stroke engines over the aussie 2 strokes that's for sure.
Look at the motor car industry, Ford and Holden and others shut up shop here. But now look at all the imported American Ford Mustangs and the soon to be imported Chevrolet Camaro's etc. Aren't these big heavy gas guzzlers? They seem to be selling pretty well here. Weird huh? Our 2 stroke will end up like our motor car industry. Only difference is we won't be getting any imports of any new 2 stroke mowers from anywhere. There was nothing like our good old aussie Victa 2 stroke lawnmower.
I reckon soon they won't even assemble the new Victa lawnmowers here with the B&S 4 stroke engines. It will be assembled overseas it's only a matter of time.
