Hello ODK History Lovers

It is long overdue in presenting this 1973 catalogue of Victa mowers.
This covers machines offered for the 1972-1973 lawnmower season.

Context:
After almost two decades, Victa was still innovative. For many, the 1970s Victa range would signify
the greatest period of Victa lawnmowers. For some, it signified their childhood.

The Series 70 Mk 2 Victa 2-stroke decompressor engines would become standard across the domestic 2-stroke range.
Other significant events would be the introduction of the Impala 2 and 4 strokes, and a purpose-built
version of Victa's 2-stroke for the Imperial reel mower range.

This would also be the start of a long marketing association with automotive racing
metaphors and analogies. Here we have Australian Grand Prix Champion Frank Matich.

This series is divided into four parts, each covering 6 pages of the 24 page catalogue
of the early 1970s Victa range. Enjoy!

The rest is history.
