A modern incarnation of the classic Victa Toe cutter fitted with the legendary Victa 160cc Two-Stroke. These engines are equivalent of the Ford Barra inline six in the world of lawn mowers. Like the Barra, they can trace their origins back a very long way, are indestructible, simple to repair and incredibly reliable. Like the Barra, its time has also come and is now no longer in production due to emissions. Bahh, what's wrong with a smokey Victa 
My grandfather had a Victa Mustang (great name ) for many many years. This new Victa smells and sounds exactly the same. Whenever I hear one of these engines it makes me remember cutting the lawn with my Pa as a young kid so I suppose it was a sentimental as much as a business purchase. Much like my XR8, its a end of the line type of thing that I just wanted to have before they become a thing of the past. And that made me feel good today! |
Where do you get one and how much?
