Hi all,

I have just acquired a fairly scruffy but mechanically good Hoover Constellation 862 in Pink and was wondering if anyone new what the pink colour was called for colour match purposes ?

Cheers
Marc.

A very early one of these has appeared on Ebay - top mounted hose in powder blue, in Normanton, near Wakefield - wondering if its one of the very first Connies?
