I acquired this little gem from ebay for 99p a few months ago. A short drive was needed to collect it, and in doing so found out that this cleaner had been bought by the gentleman selling it's Mother. He seemed quite pleased and confused when I said that I collect Vacuum Cleaners, and that I would be stripping her down and re-building it as new. This was done a few weeks ago now, so apologies for any date gaps! As I collected her: Pictured with my Plus.
