Victa Model 4 Automatic
Released in 1957, and is the most sort after Victa there is.
Anyone who collects Victa's will tell you that this is the one they would all love to own.
Not bad for a flop.

This is a quote from the Victa Automatic instruction booklet:
"The outstanding feature of the VICTA 18 AUTOMATIC is the Predicta Automatic Accelerator. This unique device automatically controls the engine acceleration, thus eliminating the use of a hand throttle or engine governor. Irrespective of the height or thickness of the grass, the engine will automatically produce sufficient revolutions to cut it, and if a bare patch of lawn is encountered or the movement of the mower is stopped, the engine will automatically reduce to an idling speed. This feature will reduce engine wear, as it is never run at high speed unnecessarily." |
