Not much to add to what Benny has said, the air ride celebrity was on sale here for quite a while, but this version was relatively short lived, probably a couple of years at most (probably 74-76) and was not popular and we did not see any of the other models that were developed from this range. I have seen a couple in my time collecting and in fact bought two of them (the second was only 99p!). They are much larger than the air ride and both heavy and noisy.
So US readers know what we are talking about, this model was second up from BOL in the first Celebrity series Al |

Most Kirby cleaners are a rare sighting in the UK when compared to the amount of other brands and models sold here. |

Yes but contrast that to the millions and millons of other makes and models which have sold in the UK. You couldn't say Kirby was a best-seller. I also think they only sell one model here at a time. Is this so? |
