Came across this new-old-stock Victa Gold Anniversary special edition for sale on Facebook. Never used, still in the original box.
These special editions were based on the Commando and used to commemorate 50-years of Victa in 2002. They used the top spec VSX160 2-stroke engine and painted in gold with matching catcher instead of red. Each of the 5000 examples made were numbered, the below example housed in the Powerhouse Collection is build number 1.

The mower was painted and assembled in the VICTA factory at Moorebank, Sydney. The mower's engine was made in South Australia, and the chassis and most other parts were made in Sydney. There were 5,000 'Golden Anniversary' models manufactured, as against a standard production run of 50,000 mowers.
