Victa Mustang Lawn Mowers (Australian ad) 1975

Victa Mustang lawn mowers commercial from 15th December 1975 transferred from U-Matic videotape. Great looking mowers with the zip start, the salesman goes around the shop zip starting all the mowers and talks with emotion. Love the colour characteristics in the cameras used for this ad, so retro!!! The salesman featured in this ad is actor John Derum better known as Narrator Neville on The Aunty Jack Show.

The tape containing this ad came from commercial director Barrie Smith's collection.

@Conniptions886 Thanks Chris, he certainly looked a lot different compared to how he looked back in the Aunty Jack days.

@ClassicTVMan1981X. Correct there Mate. These are 1976 VC Mustang. By 1977 they Rename the Mustang. Victa drop the VC and they just call it The Mustang. Which is still Current today.

I believe the engines on all these 1976 mowers are made by Victa themselves. Correct?
