G-day gml,
my goodness that is pre-historic looking. Someone out there will want it for the panels and wheels, if nothing else. A lot of elbow grease and prayers required here.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

Hi gml, I figure that this one might be at least 2 winters worth of project

G'day GML
Just PM me for support.

I can't make sense of the bonnet grill.
This must be a very early machine.

Cheers
Jack

G'day gml
I have just replied.
The owner has made a generous offer there.

Logistically, Launnie is a good pick-up point for mainland carriers.
I think this can work.

Cheers

G'day Greenies,

No, not I. I'm glad the machine is saved though.
I'm not a collector, or restorer, although I have a collection of
shaving mugs. That's it, pretty much.

Although I like the idea of recycling, I'm happy that
this one will remain a Greenfield.

Cheers
Jack
