What a shocker I have obtained another Kirby, While most of you know I am not very fond of the modern ones I am very fond of the older ones and when I was on Gumtree last week and saw this I bought it straight away.

 

These are so rare here I have only seen a few mainly at Kirby dealer ships in the bosses office. 

 

Meet my new 512 and it even came with some of its attachments and a hose  and even some original boxes and manuals.

 

The angora bunny was not part of the deal he just decided to photo bomb me.

 

Its going to need a full restoration however I must give it a fast ish  polish for a photo shoot tomorrow

Ok so this is after a quick dis assembly   ( for polishing only ) and polish it will get the full treatment on Saturday and the  deep scratches will be removed.

You know I'm not a big" Kirby lover", but, you'll make that thing sing. It is a testament to quality craftsmanship.
Now, make sure it's all clean and shiny, just like NEW.
