After declaring that this spring will be the shed clean out you see something that catches your eye, so none cleared out but another added. Don't know anything other than what Jack has recorded about these. Compression feels good so won't be surprised if it fires up and a nice bonus is the spark plug spanner tied to the bars, or is it a message that these things foul plugs on a regular basis ?
I've got a few earlier versions of this mower with just the alloy Villager badge on the front ,7F Villiers Torque Master 2 stroke ,if you look around the flat area near the points cover there should be some numbers for the year of manufacture.
For an early mower I like the styling of these mowers and are generally worth less than a Victa 18.
