Picked this little gem up on eBay the other week...
It was pretty local so I collected it myself and I paid less than £15 for it!

It was an elderly couple I bought it from - They had been storing it in their attic for the last 10 - 15 years. Prior to this they had used it in their small shop.

It runs beautifully.... the motor couldn't sound and smoother and as you can see it hasn't seen a great deal of use.

These pictures are all pre-restoration. The bag needs a good wash for starters.

However it should restore to a very high standard given its current condition.

Anyway here are the pics... if anybody could date it I'd be very grateful.

The serial number says this machine was made in April 1981.
