My dad called those early Victas toe cutters.
I had a VC160 for years. When I sold it I ran it for 5 minutes to warm it up before the bloke came around. When he got here he pulled the cord and couldn't believe how it fired instantly for a "cold" motor. He bought it.

I restored this 30-odd years ago. Turns out it's a rare Dept Store mower. No markings at all on it, no Victa on it (apart from the handlebar badge which is not correct for this mower)

Great work on the Restos Tim.
I never knew Sunbeam made a line of mowers, the base is a crazy design.
Your Victa 400 looks like a mobile camping toilet (cool though)
I love the Super-Merc, it looks like itβs got a tacho.

I might post a few pics of bike restos in a day or three, but I'll do it here rather than clogging up the front page with this off-topic stuff.
Stay tuned.
