Chapter Two – Supplemental.
These are a couple of pics of the Victa brochure from that era.
You can see this mower cost $420 back in the day. A similarly powered model today would be the $599 Corvette 200 or de-contented Classic Cut offered at Bunnings for $449. That $479 would not include assembly, oil and initial inspection and start up.
